Generate days from date range

I would like to run a query like

select ... as days where `date` is between '2020-04-07' and '2020-04-12'

And return data like:

days
----------
2020-04-07
2020-04-08
2020-04-09
2020-04-10
2020-04-11
2020-04-12

How can i do that in OS?

Hi Gen Rag, you can use a SQL (normal query with input parameter with the dates you need) or an aggregate with the filters and input parameter with the dates you need

But if the question is how to do it, you can follow this link and you will find a few examples of the SQL BETWEEN Operator or this one about SQL Queries in OutSystems

Hi, friend.

You need to do that through UI or just in aggregate?

In the aggregate filter, type:

Entity.Attribute >= TextToDate("2020-04-07") and

Entity.Attribute <= TextToDate("2020-04-12")

Best regards

Here is an example of SQL query using 2 dates from the Booking application from the Web Developer Bootcamp

and here is an example with agregates

here a test selecting 2 dates

Hope I could help you

sorry if my question is unclear,
I want to generate record automatic based on date between two date range.

i have two table

1. Table Period (to declare date range)
Id     |StartDate    | EndDate
1    |2020-04-07    | 2020-04-12

2. Table Result (automatic generate record from date between '2020-04-07' and '2020-04-12', this table default null record)

PeriodId  |Date               |Description
1             |2020-04-07     |Tuesday
1             |2020-04-08     |Wednesday
1             |2020-04-09     |Thursday

1             |2020-04-11     |Saturday
1             |2020-04-12     |Sunday

How can i do that in OS?

i try to use this query:

select * from
     (select adddate('1970-01-01',t4*10000 + t3*1000 + t2*100 + t1*10 + t0) gen_date from
     (select 0 t0 union select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4 union select 5 union select 6 union select 7 union select 8 union select 9) t0,
     (select 0 t1 union select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4 union select 5 union select 6 union select 7 union select 8 union select 9) t1,
     (select 0 t2 union select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4 union select 5 union select 6 union select 7 union select 8 union select 9) t2,
     (select 0 t3 union select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4 union select 5 union select 6 union select 7 union select 8 union select 9) t3,
     (select 0 t4 union select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4 union select 5 union select 6 union select 7 union select 8 union select 9) t4) v
where gen_date between '2020-04-07' and '2016-04-12';

but error in OS (in MySQL, query no error).

Hi Gen,

You just want all the date between two dates and you are not getting data from any database table/ entity then may I know why you want to get them from database using SQL query?

You can do this using a simple loop in your server or client action.

But you need to be an SQL? do you want to generate in the screen and present the result? Do you want to save? Cuz if you don't need a SQL you can use the solution proposed by Nikhil Gaur and generate the result you want.

Give more context if possible, take photos, upload the oml, etc

Hi Gen,

You want to do this from SQL then below query will help you -

DECLARE @MinDate DATE = '20200412',
        @MaxDate DATE = '20200424';
SELECT fn.cur_date,DATENAME(dw,fn.cur_date) as day_name,DATENAME(month,fn.cur_date) as month_name FROM (
SELECT  TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY, @MinDate, @MaxDate) + 1)
        cur_date = DATEADD(DAY, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY a.object_id) - 1, @MinDate)
FROM    sys.all_objects a
        CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects b ) fn
