How can I generate days from the range of dates with the help of MySQL views?
To illustrate it we are creating the following views −
mysql> CREATE VIEW digits AS
-> SELECT 0 AS digit UNION ALL
-> SELECT 1 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 2 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 3 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 4 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 5 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 6 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 7 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 8 UNION ALL
-> SELECT 9;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> CREATE VIEW numbers AS SELECT ones.digit + tens.digit * 10 + hundreds.digit * 100 + thousands.digit * 1000 AS number FROM digits as ones, digits as tens, digits as hundreds, digits as thousands;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> CREATE VIEW dates1 AS SELECT SUBDATE(CURRENT_DATE(), number) AS date FROM numbers UNION ALL SELECT ADDDATE(CURRENT_DATE(), number + 1) AS date FROM numbers;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> Select date from dates1 where date between '2017-11-15' and '2017-11-30'order by date;
