Convert select statement using trunc() and sysdate from Oracle SQL to MySQL

Question

This below Oracle query returns dates between last day of previous month till today. I need same results in MySQL. Can anybody help me to write the query in MySQL?

Please note that I have drive this query on 'DUAL'. There is no physical/actual table.

SELECT TRUNC(TRUNC(TRUNC(sysdate,'MM')-1)+level)-1 attendance_date
FROM dual
  CONNECT BY level<= (TRUNC(sysdate)-TRUNC(sysdate,'mm'))+2;

Answer 1

MySQL simply doesn't have the nonstandard Oracle CONNECT BY feature. It doesn't yet have the standard recursive common table expression feature. Your present approach to your problem isn't the right one to get a sequence of dates.

There are other ways to to get a sequence of dates.
