Generate a range of dates using SQL
I have a SQL query that takes a date parameter (if I were to throw it into a function) and I need to run it on every day of the last year.
How to generate a list of the last 365 days, so I can use straight-up SQL to do this?
Obviously generating a list 0..364 would work, too, since I could always:
SELECT SYSDATE - val FROM (...);
There's no need to use extra large tables or ALL_OBJECTS table:
SELECT TRUNC (SYSDATE - ROWNUM) dt
FROM DUAL CONNECT BY ROWNUM < 366
will do the trick.
SELECT (sysdate-365 + (LEVEL -1)) AS DATES
FROM DUAL connect by level <=( sysdate-(sysdate-365))
if a 'from' and a 'to' date is replaced in place of sysdate and sysdate-365, the output will be a range of dates between the from and to date.
