    You can use either of the 2 sql's

    1)select nvl(max(a.t),0) + 1 gapfrom,b.t-1 gapto
    from temp a ,temp b
    where a.t(+) < b.t
    group by b.t having nvl(max(a.t),0) < b.t -1;

    2) select a.t +1,b.t -1 from temp a,temp b where
    a.t +1 not in(select t from temp) and
    b.t=(select min(t) from temp where t > a.t)

    Cheers

    Here is another simple solution.
    select rownum from tab
    where rownum <= ( select max(x) from your_table )
    minus
    select x from your_table
