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

DELIMITER $$  
CREATE PROCEDURE popula_calendario_controle()
   BEGIN
      DECLARE a INT Default 0;
      DECLARE first_day_of_year DATE;
      set first_day_of_year = CONCAT(DATE_FORMAT(curdate(),'%Y'),'-01-01');
      one_by_one: LOOP
         IF dayofweek(affffdate(first_day_of_year,a)) <> 1 THEN
            INSERT INTO calendario.controle VALUES(null,150,affffdate(first_day_of_year,a),affffdate(first_day_of_year,a),1);
         END IF;
         SET a=a+1;
         IF a=365 THEN
            LEAVE one_by_one;
         END IF;
      END LOOP one_by_one;
END $$

this procedure will insert all dates from the beginning of the year till now, just substitue the days of the "start" and "end", and you are ready to go!
