Re: How to get list of days between two dates?

This is going to be ugly, and I can't even say for sure it's right (and if by
chance it is right, I imagine it still might be more efficient broken up in a
function), but intrigued by learning about generate_series() from Scott
Marlows response I fiddled until I got the results specified like this...

SELECT dt, event_name
FROM (
SELECT (mn.d + s.d) AS dt
FROM (
SELECT min(start_time) FROM test_events) AS mn(d),
generate_series(0, (
SELECT (extract('epoch' from age(max(end_time),
min(start_time)))/86400)::integer
FROM test_events))
AS s(d))
AS x
JOIN test_events AS y ON (dt BETWEEN start_time AND end_time)
ORDER BY dt, event_name;

dt | event_name
------------+--------------
2006-05-01 | First Event
2006-05-02 | First Event
2006-05-02 | Second Event
2006-05-03 | First Event
2006-05-04 | First Event
2006-05-04 | Third Event
2006-05-05 | Third Event
2006-05-07 | Fourth Event
