I want know if there is a way to return every date between 2 date ranges
regardless if there is a row in a table. I have a table that contains
daily pricing information and I want to be able to do a mass
updated/insert records. I know how to write the updates/inserts if I
have table that contains EVERY date between the date ranges, but I don't
want to keep a table around that has one row for every possible date.
I can't use the replace into command because of a foreign keys on the
table.
The insert will look something like this
Insert into daily_rate from
select date,123.45
from allpossibledates
left join daily_rate on allpossibledates.date=daily_rate.date
where date between 20030901 and 20031010
and daily_rate.date is null
The problem is I don't know how to generate allpossibledates easily on
the fly.
I am running 3.23.58 and can't upgrade to the latest versions yet due to
incompatibilties with the timestamp formats that were changed.
TIA
Ross
