Comments on: Combining contiguous date ranges in a SQL query – using CTE recursion http://cdonner.com/combining-contiguous-date-ranges-in-a-sql-query-using-cte-recursion.htm We know accurately only when we know little, with knowledge doubt increases.

Thanks for posting! You are probably aware of this by now, but just in case: while SQL Server 2005 and 2008 limit recursion depth to 100 *by default*, you can provide the hint MAXRECURSION to specify the maximum number of recursions allowed, between 0 and 32767. NB: 0 means "infinite" -- use with caution! I like your solution, and am about to massage it for a slightly different purpose. Thanks for posting!
