You can use a WHILE loop like..

DECLARE @l_effectiveDate datetime
SET @l_effectiveDate = '01/01/2010'
WHILE (@l_effectiveDate < '01/01/2011')
BEGIN
INSERT tablename(effectiveDate) VALUES( @l_effectiveDate)
SET @l_effectiveDate = DATEADD(dd,1,@l_effectiveDate)
END

Hi see this once


declare @startmonth datetime,@endmonth datetime
select @startmonth = '1/1/2009' ,@endMonth = '12/31/2009' 

 
SELECT	number+1 as 's.no',DATEADD(DAY, number, @startmonth) AS 'Date'
FROM		Master..spt_values
WHERE		type = 'P'
		AND DATEADD(DAY, number, @startmonth) <= @endMonth
