I am having application where user selects startdate and enddate from his application(front end). but if he selects Startdate is 2013/01/01 and EndDate as 2013/01/31. Then ihave to insert in the database as effetivedate which is calculated column based on startdate and enddate and will display all dates inbetween selected date. so in the above case,i want to insert effectiveDate as

You are going to have to give a better explanation than that for us to be able to help. Remember we can't see your screen, we don't know your data structures and we don't know what you are trying to accomplish.
