How can I select all the "filler" dates.


CREATE TABLE tbDateList 
( ItemDate datetime )

INSERT INTO tbDateList (ItemDate)
SELECT '01/01/2006' UNION ALL
SELECT '01/10/2006'

SELECT * FROM tbDateList
DROP TABLE tbDateList

In the select statement, I want to select all dates in tbDateList, but I also want to include dates that are not in the list.

Eg: the above select * will return the 2 dates, but I want it to return the 10 dates, 01/01/2006 - '01/10/2006'

Any suggestions?

Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant
