Convert mysql query to sqlserver query

Can someone help me convert this sql action from MySQL to something that will work for Sql Server 2000.

Thanks


USE test;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS _t_helper;
CREATE TABLE _t_helper (id TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY);
INSERT INTO _t_helper (id) VALUES (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10);

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS calendar_helper;
CREATE TABLE calendar_helper (
dt DATE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
yr MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
mon TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
dom TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
lbl CHAR(15) NOT NULL,
KEY(yr, mon, dom)
);

SET @counter := -1;
SET @from := '2000-01-01';
SET @to := '2010-12-31';
SET @thedate := @from;

INSERT INTO calendar_helper
SELECT
@thedate := (@from + INTERVAL @counter := @counter + 1 DAY),
YEAR(@thedate),
MONTH(@thedate),
DAY(@thedate),
DATE_FORMAT(@thedate, "%M %e")
FROM _t_helper t1, _t_helper t2, _t_helper t3, _t_helper t4 -- cartesian products worth 10x10x10x10 = 10000 rows
WHERE
@thedate < @to;
