How to generate minute intervals between two dates in T-SQL?

Question

I have a table of startTime and endTimes. I need to generate a table of intervals between those two dates in minutes. Here\'s some sample data:

declare @inte         


        

Answer 1

You can use recursive query like this :

declare @intervalMinutes int = 10
declare @myDates table (
myId int primary key identity,
startTime datetime,
endTime datetime
)

DECLARE @startTime DATETIME = '2016-07-10 08:00'
DECLARE @endTime DATETIME = '2016-07-10 09:00'

;WITH CTE AS
(
    SELECT  @startTime st
    UNION   ALL
    SELECT  dateadd(MINUTE,@intervalMinutes,st) st
    FROM    cte
    where   dateadd(MINUTE,@intervalMinutes,st) < @endTime
)
INSERT INTO @myDates(startTime,endTime)
SELECT st,dateadd(MINUTE,@intervalMinutes,st) FROM cte

SELECT  * FROm @myDates
