-- @rangeStart is the start of the date range of interest
-- @rangeEnd is the end of the date range of interest
-- If you use null to signify infinity, then use the commented line instead of the one above it.
-- Assumes both intervals are [Start, End), ie, start is inclusive, end is exclusive.
select *
from DateEffectiveTable
where StartDate < @rangeEnd
  and EndDate > @rangeStart
  -- and coalesce(endDate, '9999-12-31') > @rangeStart
