Get All Dates of Given Month and Year in SQL Server

Question

I want to get all dates by declaring month and year in SQL server.

Can anyone please share easy lines of SQL code to get it.

For example:

DECLARE @month AS INT = 5
DECLARE @Year AS INT = 2016
SELECT * from Something

I have tried below things,

DECLARE @month TINYINT=5

;WITH CTE_Days AS (
    SELECT DATEADD(
               MONTH,
               @month,
               DATEADD(
                   MONTH,
                   -MONTH(GETDATE()),
                   DATEADD(
                       DAY,
                       -DAY(GETDATE()) + 1,
                       CAST(FLOOR(CAST(GETDATE() AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME)
                   )
               )
           ) Dates
    UNION ALL
    SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, Dates)
    FROM   CTE_Days
    WHERE  Dates < DATEADD(
               DAY,
               -1,
               DATEADD(
                   MONTH,
                   1,
                   DATEADD(
                       MONTH,
                       @month,
                       DATEADD(
                           MONTH,
                           -MONTH(GETDATE()),
                           DATEADD(
                               DAY,
                               -DAY(GETDATE()) + 1,
                               CAST(FLOOR(CAST(GETDATE() AS FLOAT)) AS DATETIME)
                           )
                       )
                   )
               )
           )
)
SELECT Dates
FROM   CTE_Days

But I am looking for easy solution with less lines and short answer

You can't get all days just by declaring the month, you need to add the year as well because of leap years:

DECLARE @date DATE = getdate()

;WITH N(N)AS 
(SELECT 1 FROM(VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1))M(N)),
tally(N)AS(SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY N.N)FROM N,N a)
SELECT top(day(EOMONTH(@date)))
  N day,
  dateadd(d,N-1, @date) date
FROM tally

Another different solution(by t@clausen):

DECLARE @month AS INT = 5
DECLARE @Year AS INT = 2016

;WITH N(N)AS 
(SELECT 1 FROM(VALUES(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1))M(N)),
tally(N)AS(SELECT ROW_NUMBER()OVER(ORDER BY N.N)FROM N,N a)
SELECT N day,datefromparts(@year,@month,N) date FROM tally
WHERE N <= day(EOMONTH(datefromparts(@year,@month,1)))
