The following code gets the job done, but I am wondering if there is a
simpler/cleaner way?

WITH start_date AS(SELECT DATE '2014-02-18' AS start_date)
select CAST( to_char(start_date + INTERVAL '1d'*i,'YYYYMMDD') AS INT) AS
end_range
from generate_series(1,100) AS i CROSS JOIN start_date;

end_range
integer

20140219
20140220
20140221
20140222
20140223
20140224
20140225
20140226
20140227
20140228
20140301
20140302
