Guys,

I need to find out a way to display all dates between current date - getdate() and give date say '2007-07-03'.

Is there any way to do this, I tried DATEADD, DATEDIFF, DATEPART doesnt seem to work.

Any suggestions and inputs would help

Thanks

Try harder! DateDiff works.
Are you using MICROSOFT SQL Server? Have you read Books Online?

Peso,

I am trying to get a result where I get dates between getdate() and '2007-07-09' as

2007-07-10
2007-07-11

All I get now with DATEDIFF is a number.

Any suggestions would help

Thanks

You want the "median" date? It is a very popular subject these days.
Try a search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-US&q=median+date+site%3Asqlteam.com&btnG=Search

Or use
DATEADD(HOURS, DATEDIFF(HOURS, '20070709', current_timestamp) / 2.0, '20070709')

Aha! You want a resultset with all days in the calendar between some date and another date?

Look for a function named F_TABLE_DATE written by Michael Valentine Jones. It has everything and some more of what you need and want.
