Re: Generating a list of days

I know you said you'd prefer SQL, but perl can do this very easily using
Time::Piece or one of the other date modules that support date arithmetic, in a
very natural way. Sure you want to use SQL for this?

Subject:  [GENERAL] Generating a list of days


Hi,

I'm trying to generate a list of days between a start
date and an end date for use in a query - I would then
do an outer join with some other data for graphing
purposes as I need all the days with 0 entries.

I using perl as the front-end, but I'd rather do it in
sql if poss.

Any ideas?

TIA

Fraser
