Getting date list in a range in PostgreSQL

Question

I\'d like to get the list of days between the two dates (including them) in a PostgreSQL database. For example, if I had:

• start date: 29 june

Answer 1

select generate_series('2012-06-29', '2012-07-03', '1 day'::interval)::date;

Answer 2

If you already have database that you want to query:

SELECT
   TO_CHAR(date_column,'DD Mon YYYY')
FROM
   some_table
WHERE
   date_column BETWEEN '29 Jun 2012' AND '3 JUL 2012'

GROUP BY date_column
ORDER BY date_column

This will result in:

"29 Jun 2012"
"30 Jun 2012"
"01 Jul 2012"
"02 Jul 2012"
"03 Jul 2012"
