List of past Dates

Hello,
I want to create a list op dates using the SELECT statement. The dates range
from the current date till the current date - 10 days
The resultset for today should be as follows.
20050221
20050220
20050219
20050218
20050217
20050216
20050215
20050214
20050213
20050212
20050211
How do I create this. The result must be used in an other view, so if
possible I want a view.
Thanks

Look at the script written by Irzik Ben-Gan
CREATE FUNCTION fn_dates(@.from AS DATETIME, @.to AS DATETIME)
RETURNS @.Dates TABLE(dt DATETIME NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.rc AS INT
SET @.rc = 1
INSERT INTO @.Dates VALUES(@.from)
WHILE @.from + @.rc * 2 - 1 <= @.to
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @.Dates
SELECT dt + @.rc FROM @.Dates
SET @.rc = @.rc * 2
END
INSERT INTO @.Dates
SELECT dt + @.rc FROM @.Dates
WHERE dt + @.rc <= @.to
RETURN
END
GO
SELECT dt FROM fn_dates('20050211', '20050221')
