mysql generate c,在MySQL中等效于generate_series（）

I need to do a query and join with all days of the year but in my db there isn't a calendar table.

After google-ing I found generate_series() in PostgreSQL. Does MySQL have anything similar?

My actual table has something like:

date qty

1-1-11 3

1-1-11 4

4-1-11 2

6-1-11 5

But my query has to return:

1-1-11 7

2-1-11 0

3-1-11 0

4-1-11 2

and so on ..

This is how I do it. It creates a range of dates from 2011-01-01 to 2011-12-31:

select

date_format(

adddate('2011-1-1', @num:=@num+1),

'%Y-%m-%d'

) date

from

any_table,

(select @num:=-1) num

limit

365

-- use limit 366 for leap years if you're putting this in production

The only requirement is that the number of rows in any_table should be greater or equal to the size of the needed range (>= 365 rows in this example). You will most likely use this as a subquery of your whole query, so in your case any_table can be one of the tables you use in that query.
