Subtracting two dates will give you an answer in 'days'. For a range in the 'where' clause use 'between'.

If i use between in where clause then what should be in select and from clauses

 select .....
from .....
where ..... between '17-oct-2007' and '22-oct-2007'


as data(dates) are not selected from any user table.

I do not understand the problem that you are trying to solve! Select the fields that you want from the table in which they reside.

Also, '17-oct-2007' is not a DATE. It is the string representation of a DATE. Use 'to_date' to turn your strings into usable date fields.
