Based on day fetch all dates - sql - sql

Question

I have start date, end date and name of days. How can fetch all dates between those two dates of that specific days in sql?
example data:
start_date:4/11/2018
end_date: 5/11/2018
days: monday, thursday
expected output: all dates between start and end date which comes on monday and thursday and store them in table

my present code(not working)
; WITH CTE(dt)
AS
(
SELECT #P_FROM_DATE
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(dw, 1, dt) FROM CTE
WHERE dt < #P_TO_DATE
)
INSERT INTO Table_name
(
ID
,DATE_TIME
,STATUS
,CREATED_DATE
,CREATED_BY
)
SELECT #P_ID
,(SELECT dt FROM CTE WHERE DATENAME(dw, dt) In ('tuesday','friday',null))
,'NOT SENT'
,CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE)
,#USER_ID

Answer 1

Another approach for generating dates between ranges can be like following query. This will be faster compared to CTE or WHILE loop.
DECLARE #StartDate DATETIME = '2018-04-11'
DECLARE #EndDate DATETIME = '2018-05-15'
SELECT #StartDate + RN AS DATE FROM
(
SELECT (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)))-1 RN
FROM master..[spt_values] T1
) T
WHERE RN <= DATEDIFF(DAY,#StartDate,#EndDate)
AND DATENAME(dw,#StartDate + RN) IN('Monday','Thursday')
Note:
If the row count present in master..[spt_values] is not sufficient for the provided range, you can make a cross join with the same to get a bigger range like following.
SELECT (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)))-1 RN
FROM master..[spt_values] T1
CROSS JOIN master..[spt_values] T2
By this you will be able to generate date between a range with gap of 6436369 days.

Answer 2

You can use a recursive common table expression (CTE) to generate a list of days. With datepart(dw, ...) you can filter for specific days of the week.
An example that creates a list of Mondays and Thursdays between March 1st and today:
create table ListOfDates (dt date);
with cte as
(
select cast('2018-03-01' as date) as dt -- First day of interval
union all
select dateadd(day, 1, dt)
from cte
where dt < getdate() -- Last day of interval
)
insert into ListOfDates
(dt)
select dt
from cte
where datepart(dw, dt) in (2, 5) -- 2=Monday and 5=Thursday
option (maxrecursion 0)
See it working at SQL Fiddle.

Answer 3

This will work for you:
DECLARE #table TABLE(
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),
Date DATETIME,
Day VARCHAR(50)
)
DECLARE #Days TABLE(
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),
Day VARCHAR(50)
)
INSERT INTO #Days VALUES ('Monday')
INSERT INTO #Days VALUES ('Thursday')
DECLARE #StartDate DATETIME='2018-01-01';
DECLARE #EndDate DATETIME=GETDATE();
DECLARE #Day VARCHAR(50)='Friday';
DECLARE #TempDate DATETIME=#StartDate;
WHILE CAST(#TempDate AS DATE)<=CAST(#EndDate AS DATE)
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM #Days WHERE DAY IN (DATENAME(dw,#TempDate)))
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #table
VALUES (
#TempDate, -- Date - datetime
DATENAME(dw,#TempDate) -- Day - varchar(50)
)
END
SET #TempDate=DATEADD(DAY,1,#TempDate)
END
SELECT * FROM #table

Answer 4

INSERT INTO TargetTab(dateCOL)
SELECT dateCOL
FROM tab
WHERE dateCOL >= startdate AND dateCOL <= enddate
AND (DATENAME(dw,dateCOL) ='Thursday' OR DATENAME(dw,dateCOL) = 'Monday')
Try this query to get your result.

Answer 5

Use a recursive CTE to generate your dates, then filter by week day.
SET DATEFIRST 1 -- 1: Monday, 7 Sunday
DECLARE #StartDate DATE = '2018-04-11'
DECLARE #EndDate DATE = '2018-05-15'
DECLARE #WeekDays TABLE (WeekDayNumber INT)
INSERT INTO #WeekDays (
WeekDayNumber)
VALUES
(1), -- Monday
(4) -- Thursday
;WITH GeneratingDates AS
(
SELECT
GeneratedDate = #StartDate,
WeekDay = DATEPART(WEEKDAY, #StartDate)
UNION ALL
SELECT
GeneratedDate = DATEADD(DAY, 1, G.GeneratedDate),
WeekDay = DATEPART(WEEKDAY, DATEADD(DAY, 1, G.GeneratedDate))
FROM
GeneratingDates AS G -- Notice that we are referencing a CTE that we are also declaring
WHERE
G.GeneratedDate < #EndDate
)
SELECT
G.GeneratedDate
FROM
GeneratingDates AS G
INNER JOIN #WeekDays AS W ON G.WeekDay = W.WeekDayNumber

Answer 6

Try this:
declare #start date = '04-11-2018'
declare #end date = '05-11-2018'
declare #P_ID int = 1
declare #USER_ID int = 11
;with cte as(
select #start [date]
union all
select dateadd(DAY, 1, [date]) from cte
where [date] < #end
)
--if MY_TABLE doesn't exist
select #P_ID,
[date],
'NOT SENT',
cast(getdate() as date),
#USER_ID
into MY_TABLE
from cte
--here you can specify days: 1 - Sunday, 2 - Monday, etc.
where DATEPART(dw,[date]) in (2, 5)
option (maxrecursion 0)
--if MY_TABLE does exist
--insert into MY_TABLE
--select #P_ID,
-- [date],
-- 'NOT SENT',
-- cast(getdate() as date),
-- #USER_ID
--from cte
--where DATEPART(dw,[date]) in (2, 5)
--option (maxrecursion 0)
