Is there a way to generate dates between date ranges. After looking on SO I found out there is a way to use CTE, another option is to use Union All from 0 to 9. Is there an inbuilt function which I can use to generate dates between date range?

We are using MySQL 8.0.

    Is there an inbuilt function No. For your version - use recursive CTE.

  • Moreover, there is no table data type, so both any built-in function and possibility to create user-definad function with the output of table-type not exists.

I tried this solution :

WITH recursive Date_Ranges AS (
    select '2018-11-30' as Date
   union all
   select Date + interval 1 day
   from Date_Ranges
   where Date < '2018-12-31')
select * from Date_Ranges;
