The problem is here i have both start date and end date for each offer, and have to check with other offers start date and end date for overlapping.
Offers Start Date End Date
Offer1 01/04/2007 30/04/2007
Offer2 14/02/2007 28/02/2007
Offer3 01/02/2007 13/02/2007
Offer4 17/03/2007 30/03/2007
In the above query Offer 5 is valid bcos there is no overlapping with any other offers.
But offer 6 is not valid bcos the dates overlap with offer 4 dates.
Valid: Offer5 01/03/2007 16/03/2007
Not Valid: Offer6 20/03/2007 28/03/2007

Yes I see that. Well the requirements for your code seem quite clear then.
