There is nothing between '31-DEC-2005' and '30-JUN-2006' as '31-DEC-2005' is greater than '30-JUN-2006':

SQL> select * from dual where '31-DEC-2005' <= '30-JUN-2006' ;

no rows selected

SQL> select * from dual where '31-DEC-2005' >= '30-JUN-2006' ;

1 row selected.

Just to add to Michel's post, you are comparing character strings, as in:

FOO SCOTT>l
  1*  select * from dual where '31-DEC-2005' >= '#$%!'
FOO SCOTT>/
