Need To Return Calendar Events For Current Day

Question

Hello,
I have a calendar which includes seperate start and end date fields. I need to write a query that will return events for each day in a month, but I need to be mindful of the fact that some events span multiple days. Here is my query so far which isn't working quite right.
<cfquery name="qTodayEvents" datasource="#getDatasource()#">
SELECT eventID, title, summary, code, description
FROM events INNER JOIN eventTypes ON events.typeID=eventTypes.typeID
WHERE deleted=0
AND
  startDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
  AND startDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
) OR (
  endDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
  AND endDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
) OR (
  startDate <= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayStartTime#" />
  AND endDate >= <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="#todayEndTime#" />
</cfquery>
The query is located inside a loop which loops through the days in a given month.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Simon

You have to do nested loops - one for the days of the month, and once for the query.  It probably does not matter which is nested inside of what.  You want your query ordered by EndDate.  Then you can do something like this.
ControlDate = Date1;
MaxDate = arraymax(yourquery["enddate"]);
<cfloop condition = ControlDate lt Date2>
<cfloop from = "1" to = yourquery.recordcount index = 1>
<cfif ControlDate >= StartDate and ControlDate <= EndDate>
your code goes here
<cfelse>
break
</cfif>
<cfloop>
add a day to ControlDate
maybe break if the control date is greater than the max date.
</cfloop>
