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

Perhaps if you wish to go an easier way, this should do it.

WITH date_range (calc_date) AS (
    SELECT DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) - 6, 0)
        UNION ALL SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, calc_date)
            FROM date_range
            WHERE DATEADD(DAY, 1, calc_date) < CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
SELECT calc_date
FROM date_range;

But the temporary table is a very good approach also. Perhaps shall you also consider a populated calendar table.
