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

In case you want to print years starting from a particular year till current date. Just altered the accepted answer.

WITH mycte AS
    (
      SELECT YEAR(CONVERT(DATE, '2006-01-01',102)) DateValue
      UNION ALL
      SELECT  DateValue + 1
      FROM    mycte   
      WHERE   DateValue + 1 < = YEAR(GETDATE())
    )
    SELECT  DateValue
    FROM    mycte
