Get a list of dates between two dates using a function

My question is similar to this MySQL question, but intended for SQL Server:

Is there a function or a query that will return a list of days between two dates? For exa

Answer 1

All you have to do is just change the hard coded value in the code provided below

DECLARE @firstDate datetime
    DECLARE @secondDate datetime
    DECLARE @totalDays  INT
    SELECT @firstDate = getDate() - 30
    SELECT @secondDate = getDate()

    DECLARE @index INT
    SELECT @index = 0
    SELECT @totalDays = datediff(day, @firstDate, @secondDate)

    CREATE TABLE #temp
    (
         ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1)
        ,CommonDate DATETIME NULL
    )

    WHILE @index < @totalDays
        BEGIN

            INSERT INTO #temp (CommonDate) VALUES  (DATEADD(Day, @index, @firstDate))   
            SELECT @index = @index + 1
        END

    SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), CommonDate, 102) as [Date Between] FROM #temp

    DROP TABLE #temp
