Hello,
I need to calculate retro worked days. I have built a program to generate the worked days of a present pay period for a particular work contract. Now HR wants me to generate worked days that are prior to this present pay period. This is termed their Late Contract. So through sql I found the retro pay period for the particular work contract. So using DateDiff I know that I can find the days between the Begin Pay Date and the Retro Pay Begin Date. So for example
If I worked Mon and Wed for the the current pay period, I will need to go back 48 days to calculate the missed pay days for all the scheduled Mon and Wed. I know that I can do this programmatically as a sql object and a loop in peoplecode for oracle, I was wondering if there is a way to do this with an Insert Statement/Select using just sql.
Thanks,
Nigluc.

Yes you can do this and you certainly don't need a loop. It sounds like you need a tally or numbers table. Take a look at Jeff Moden's article about that here. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/T-SQL/62867/%5B/url%5D
