I wanted to insert into a table a row for each day of the year... how would I do that? Like it would loop until a certain date?

You can do it via while loop.


While  @datevalue <= @TheCertainDate
Begin
    -- do the insert

    -- increment the param
    Set @dateval = DateadD(D,1, @dateval)
end

This function will produce a date table with one row for each day in whatever date range you select.

Anyway, all I would use is a numbers table and a starting date

How would I know. If you need the value you would use it. Right?
