I have a requirement where I need to go back to previous values for a column until 1000 rows and get those previous 1000 dates for my next steps, but all those 1000 previous dates are not present for that column in the table. But I need those missing dates to get from output of the query.
When I try to run below query it is not displaying 1000 previous date values from current date.
Example: let's say only 2 dates are available for date column
date
2019-01-16
2019-01-19
I have come up with a query to get back 1000 dates but it is giving only nearest date as all previous back dates are missing
SELECT date FROM table1 t
WHERE
date >= date_sub(current_date,1000) and dt<current_date ORDER BY date LIMIT 1
If I run above query it is displaying 2019-01-16
, since previous 1000 days back date are not present it is giving nearest date ,which is 2019-01-16
but I need missing dates starting from 2016-04-23
(1000th date from current date) till before current date (2019-01-18
) as output of my query.
