I filled general holidays by this year government holidays. now i want to fill working days tables based on general holidays for full year(for example this year).For that i have decided to fill working day by filling day by day (mean when i fill today with date in working day table,tommorrow will be automatically added to the table from after midnight(12.00AM)).This date should be compare with general holidays and then fill with working table.if both day matching then that day not to fill with working days table. please give me an idea.i will do it,if you are giving some kints about this method.

Not sure if I still interpreted this correctly, but...

First if you're interested only in dates, you can use date data type which contains no time information, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186724.aspx[^].

Now to generate the data into the table, you can create a small T-SQL block where you loop through the desired dates. Something like

SQL

DECLARE @startDate date;
DECLARE @endDate date;
BEGIN
   SET @startDate = GETDATE();
   SET @endDate = GETDATE() + 365;
   WHILE (@startDate <= @endDate) BEGIN
      INSERT INTO YourTable (DateColumn) VALUES (@startDate);
      SET @startDate = DATEADD(day, 1, @startDate);
   END;
END;

You should modify the block to check for the holiday.

Another possibility is that you actually don't store the working day at all, just the holidays. Now to get the working dates between a date range, you could use a table valued function which can be used in a query like a table. Have a look at this article: Using Table-Valued Functions in SQL Server[^]
