Possible recursive CTE query using date ranges?

You don't need a "real" recursive CTE here. You can use one for the month references though.

You can cross join your request with a recursive CTE, this is a good idea.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
