Get a list of dates between two dates

Question

Using standard mysql functions is there a way to write a query that will return a list of days between two dates.

eg given 2009-01-01 and 2009-01-13 it would return

Answer 1

For Access (or any SQL language)

1. Create one table that has 2 fields, we'll call this table tempRunDates:
   --Fields fromDate and toDate
   --Then insert only 1 record, that has the start date and the end date.

2. Create another table: Time_Day_Ref
   --Import a list of dates (make list in excel is easy) into this table.
   --The field name in my case is Greg_Dt, for Gregorian Date
   --I made my list from jan 1 2009 through jan 1 2020.

3. Run the query:

   SELECT Time_Day_Ref.GREG_DT
   FROM tempRunDates, Time_Day_Ref
   WHERE Time_Day_Ref.greg_dt>=tempRunDates.fromDate And greg_dt<=tempRunDates.toDate;
   

Easy!
