Get a list of dates between two dates using a function

Question

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

A Bit late to the party, but I like this solution quite a bit.

CREATE FUNCTION ExplodeDates(@startDate DateTime, @endDate DateTime)
RETURNS table as
return (
    SELECT  TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY, @startDate, @endDate) + 1)
            DATEADD(DAY, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY a.object_id) - 1, @startDate) AS DATE
    FROM    sys.all_objects a
            CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects b
            )
