made it like:


declare @int int
set @int = 1953;
print @int;

while @int <= 1953
begin
insert into time (time_entry, year, month, day) values (getdate()-@int, year(getdate()-@int), month(getdate()-@int), day(getdate()-@int))
print @int;
set @int = @int - 1
end
print 'Insert finished'

or even this:-

DECLARE @StartDate datetime
SET @StartDate='01/01/2008'
SELECT DATEADD(dd,v.number,@StartDate)
FROM master..spt_values
WHERE type='p'
AND DATEADD(dd,v.number,@StartDate)< GETDATE()
