I want to create two columns StartDate and endDate but I'll have to create a rule for the startDate to be lesser than the EndDate. How do I create this?

To enforce the condition that startdate will be always less than enddate, look up "check constraint"

although it can be done by means of check constraint. if this is for a webpage then best thing would be do validation at the client side if you want to avoid db calls for invalid input values
