SQL Server CTE problem This question is in reference to my last question: SQL Server 08: Union over while

I'm writing a CTE to do what was described in that question (find available time slots over a given number of days.

I have a CTE written, but I can't quite grasp how to get my date incrementing and limited. As it stands, it only gets data from the 2011-07-30 (@ArrivalDate). Can anybody explain to me how I can get it properly incrementing, and where I'm going wrong?

Update: I've come up with a better query for getting all the available time slots

(SELECT TS.UKTNN, TS.TimeSlotID, TS.TimeSlotGroupID 
 FROM FittingCentreTimeSlotGroupTimeSlots TS)
EXCEPT
(Select BFD.UKTNN, BFD.TimeSlotID, BFD.TimeSlotGroupID 
 From BookedFittingDates BFD) 


And here is the table structure as requested in the comments:

TimeSlotGroup
UKTNN, TimeSlotGroupID, TimeSlotGroupDesc

TimeSlotGroupTimeSlots
UKTNN, TimeSlotID, TimeSlotGroupID, TimeSlotDesc

BookedDates
UKTNN, TimeSlotGroupID, TimeSlotID, Date

Here is what my existing CTE looks like right now

Use[DEV_UKTN_DATA]
GO 
DECLARE @UKTNN int;
DECLARE @ArrivalDate date;
DECLARE @NumDays int;
DECLARE @LoopDate date;

SET @UKTNN = 7;
SET @ArrivalDate = '2011-07-30';
SET @LoopDate = @ArrivalDate;
SET @NumDays = 2;

WITH GetTimeSlotsOnDays(TimeSlotGroupID, TimeSlotGroupDesc, TimeSlotID, TimeSlotDescription, AdditionalCost, UKTNN, CurrentDate, Distance)
AS
(
    SELECT TSG.TimeSlotGroupID, 
           TSG.TimeSlotGroupDesc, 
           TS.TimeSlotID, 
           TS.TimeSlotDescription, 
           TS.AdditionalCost,
           @UKTNN AS UKTNN,
           @ArrivalDate as CurrentDate,
           0 As Distance
    FROM FittingCentreBranchTimeSlotGroups TSG
    INNER JOIN FittingCentreTimeSlotGroupTimeSlots TS 
               ON TSG.TimeSlotGroupID = TS.TimeSlotGroupID AND 
                  TSG.UKTNN = TS.UKTNN
    WHERE TSG.UKTNN = @UKTNN AND
          TS.UKTNN = @UKTNN AND
          TS.TimeSlotGroupID = TSG.TimeSlotGroupID AND
          NOT EXISTS(
                SELECT * 
                FROM BookedFittingDates BFD 
                WHERE BFD.TimeSlotGroupID = TS.TimeSlotGroupID AND 
                      BFD.TimeSlotID = TS.TimeSlotID AND
                      BFD.UKTNN = @UKTNN AND
                      BFD.Date = @ArrivalDate)
          --@ArrivalDate &lt;= DATEADD(DAY, @NumDays, @ArrivalDate) 

    UNION ALL --Recursion starts here

    SELECT TSG.TimeSlotGroupID, 
           TSG.TimeSlotGroupDesc, 
           TS.TimeSlotID, 
           TS.TimeSlotDescription, 
           TS.AdditionalCost,
           @UKTNN UKTNN,
           @ArrivalDate As CurrentDate,
           Distance + 1 As Distance
    FROM FittingCentreBranchTimeSlotGroups TSG
    INNER JOIN FittingCentreTimeSlotGroupTimeSlots TS 
               ON TSG.TimeSlotGroupID = TS.TimeSlotGroupID AND 
                  TSG.UKTNN = TS.UKTNN
    INNER JOIN GetTimeSlotsOnDays as GTSOD
               ON GTSOD.CurrentDate = DATEADD(DAY, Distance, @ArrivalDate)
)


SELECT *
FROM GetTimeSlotsOnDays GTSOD
WHERE GTSOD.CurrentDate = @ArrivalDate AND GTSOD.Distance = 0
ORDER BY GTSOD.TimeSlotGroupID ASC, GTSOD.TimeSlotID ASC
GO
I found an answer for this!

1) Create a function that returns a table containing the desired dates

2) Do a cartesian product of the timeslots with the dates

3) Find the exceptions between the booked dates and the cartesian product
