Jak wygenerować zakres dat w SQL Server

Twierdzę, że w tym konkretnym celu poniższe zapytanie jest mniej więcej tak wydajne, jak użycie dedykowanej tabeli wyszukiwania.

DECLARE @start DATE, @end DATE;
SELECT @start = '20110714', @end = '20110717';

;WITH n AS 
(
  SELECT TOP (DATEDIFF(DAY, @start, @end) + 1) 
    n = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [object_id])
  FROM sys.all_objects
)
SELECT 'Bob', DATEADD(DAY, n-1, @start)
FROM n;

Wyniki:

Bob     2011-07-14
Bob     2011-07-15
Bob     2011-07-16
Bob     2011-07-17

Przypuszczalnie będziesz potrzebować tego jako zestawu, a nie dla pojedynczego członka, więc oto sposób na dostosowanie tej techniki:

DECLARE @t TABLE
(
    Member NVARCHAR(32), 
    RegistrationDate DATE, 
    CheckoutDate DATE
);

INSERT @t SELECT N'Bob', '20110714', '20110717'
UNION ALL SELECT N'Sam', '20110712', '20110715'
UNION ALL SELECT N'Jim', '20110716', '20110719';

;WITH [range](d,s) AS 
(
  SELECT DATEDIFF(DAY, MIN(RegistrationDate), MAX(CheckoutDate))+1,
    MIN(RegistrationDate)
    FROM @t -- WHERE ?
),
n(d) AS
(
  SELECT DATEADD(DAY, n-1, (SELECT MIN(s) FROM [range]))
  FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [object_id])
  FROM sys.all_objects) AS s(n)
  WHERE n <= (SELECT MAX(d) FROM [range])
)
SELECT t.Member, n.d
FROM n CROSS JOIN @t AS t
WHERE n.d BETWEEN t.RegistrationDate AND t.CheckoutDate;
----------^^^^^^^ not many cases where I'd advocate between!

Wyniki:

Member    d
--------  ----------
Bob       2011-07-14
Bob       2011-07-15
Bob       2011-07-16
Bob       2011-07-17
Sam       2011-07-12
Sam       2011-07-13
Sam       2011-07-14
Sam       2011-07-15
Jim       2011-07-16
Jim       2011-07-17
Jim       2011-07-18
Jim       2011-07-19

Jak zauważył @Dems, można to uprościć do:

;WITH natural AS 
(
  SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [object_id]) - 1 AS val 
  FROM sys.all_objects
) 
SELECT t.Member, d = DATEADD(DAY, natural.val, t.RegistrationDate) 
  FROM @t AS t INNER JOIN natural 
  ON natural.val <= DATEDIFF(DAY, t.RegistrationDate, t.CheckoutDate);
