A query like this should do it:

SELECT SUM(DECODE(To_char(To_date(:startdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') + ROWNUM - 1,
                          'DY'),'THU',1, 0))
FROM   All_Objects
WHERE  ROWNUM <= To_date(:enddate,'dd-mon-yyyy')
               - To_date(:startdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') + 1

What, you didn't like the answer to the question you asked about how many TUESDAY's between 2 dates over here?

I don't think it really required too much effort to change to the code to look for THURSDAY's instead of TUESDAY's.
