That is because the query does not count the StartDate but does count the
EndDate, so if your EndDate is the next day from the StartDate you get 1 day,
not two. You need to move the fencepost created by the StartDate to counteract
this (so that, effectively, the starting point becomes the day before the first
day, or "day 0") ... This makes the dateY / dateM reflect the date on which, at
the completion of that day, the year or month respectively was completed:
WITH RECURSIVE
dates (StartDate, EndDate) as
(
select '2004-02-02', '2004-02-02'
),
yearC (dateY) AS
(
SELECT date(StartDate, '+1 year', '-1 day')
FROM dates
WHERE date(StartDate, '+1 year', '-1 day') <= EndDate
UNION ALL
SELECT date(dateY, '+1 year')
FROM yearC, dates
WHERE date(dateY, '+1 year') <= EndDate
),
years (dateY, years) as
(
SELECT coalesce((SELECT max(dateY)
FROM yearC), date(StartDate, '-1 day')),
coalesce((SELECT count(*)
FROM yearC), 0)
FROM dates
),
monthC (dateM) as
(
SELECT date(dateY, '+1 month')
FROM years, dates
WHERE date(dateY, '+1 month') <= EndDate
UNION ALL
SELECT date(dateM, '+1 month')
FROM monthC, dates
WHERE date(dateM, '+1 month') <= EndDate
),
months (dateM, months) as
(
SELECT coalesce((SELECT max(dateM)
FROM monthC), dateY),
coalesce((SELECT count(*)
FROM monthC), 0)
FROM years
),
dayC (dateD) as
(
SELECT date(dateM, '+1 day')
FROM months, dates
WHERE date(dateM, '+1 day') <= EndDate
UNION ALL
SELECT date(dateD, '+1 day')
FROM dayC, dates
WHERE date(dateD, '+1 day') <= EndDate
),
days (dateD, days) as
(
SELECT coalesce((SELECT max(dateD)
FROM dayC), DateM),
coalesce((SELECT count(*)
FROM dayC), 0)
FROM months
)
SELECT StartDate,
DateY,
DateM,
DateD,
EndDate,
years,
months,
days
FROM dates, years, months, days;
StartDate dateY dateM dateD EndDate years months
days

The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a
lot about anticipated traffic volume.
