Arabic Hijri Date

I want to store and display dates of my application in Arabic Hijri style. Is there any function that converts american date into Arabic Hijri date...?
Or any other sollution for it..?
Note: I m using American_america.we8iso8859p1 character set and also need the sollution in the same...

Try this
alter session set NLS_CALENDAR="Arabic Hijrah" ;
When I grepped for Hijri, I got only the above one for Hijri, Hijra & Hijrah.
Also worth trying "Arabic Hijri".
Thanks,
Vinod.

Convert georgian date to hijri date at specific date

Hi all,
I'm new in PL/SQL , I use Oracle database 10g in windows xp .
could any one help and provide me with code that accept any Georgian date
and convert it to hijri date
best regard
new user
thanks

the solution would go along the lines of
to_date(to_char(<date column>,'format model','*NLS_CALENDAR=<code for Georgian>*'),'format model', 'NLS_CALENDAR=<code for Arab/Hijri')
as per the description of to_date in the SQL reference manual.

Gregorian-Hijri Dates Converter

Hello Experts;

You may ask... What is Hijri Calender?
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri</a>
The Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar (also called "Hijri calendar", Arabic) is the calendar used to date events in many predominantly Muslim countries, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on which to celebrate Islamic holy days. It is a lunar calendar having 12 lunar months in a year of about 354 days. Because this lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, Islamic holy days, although celebrated on fixed dates in their own calendar, usually shift 11 days earlier each successive solar year, such as a year of the Gregorian calendar. Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred Muhammad's emigration from Mecca to Medina. Thus each numbered year is designated either H or AH, the latter being the initials of the Latin anno Hegirae (in the year of the Hijra).

Hijri Date

Dear Guyz,
anyone guide me how to get hijri date with the format (i.e. YYYY/MM/DD ) 1420/02/25 already date store is in database in report its showing DD/MON/YYYY.
anyhelp would appreciate.
Regards
Moazam

Moazam,
I guess that it is best to create a database function with:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(ISU_DATE,'YYYYMMDD'),'YYYYMMDD', 'NLS_CALENDAR = '''||'ARABIC HIJRAH''')
and use it in your queries every time you need to get a date.
Otherwise I think that you can probably set the NLS_CALENDAR to ARABIC HIJRAH (via a database procedure?) in a Before Report trigger and then all dates will probably be correct for the report session.
These are the 2 things that I would try.

How to display hijri date..

hi everyone!
can someone tell how to convert georgian date into hijri date...
and if the date is some old date....
thanks and regards
Tariq.

Here are a few things you might need to know.
1.How to set Calendar to "Arabic Hijrah" ?
2.How to display both Hijrah and Gregorian dates in the same select statement?
3.What is Calendar Deviation?
4.How to set deviation?
Questions & Answers
1.How to set Calendar to "Arabic Hijrah" ?
Answer
Set NLS_CALENDAR parameter in one of the following ways:
1. In the Current session :
SQL> alter session set NLS_CALENDAR="Arabic Hijrah" ;
2. All applications for a specific client:
Set NLS_CALENDAR Variable in client OS environment.
<e.g: On NT: set variable in the registry
On Unix: set UNIX environment variable in .profile/.cshrc>
3. Within SQL function:
SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'day dd month yyyy','nls_calendar=''arabic hijrah''')
from dual ;
References
<Note:30772.1>
2.How to display both Hijrah and Gregorian dates in the same select statement?
Answer
select
to_char(sysdate,'day dd month yyyy','nls_calendar=''arabic hijrah'''),
to_char(sysdate,'day dd month yyyy','nls_calendar=''gregorian''')
from dual ;
References
<bug:1302683>
3.What is Calendar Deviation?
Answer
Since Hijrah month is based on the moon complete revolution around the sun, Hijrah
Calendar has different number of days in a year than Gregorian; therefore some manual
deviation adjustement might be needed for the conversion to/from Gregorian. In other
words HIJRAH calendar is Lunar based, corrections need to be made every so often.
4.How to set deviation?
Answer
1. Shutdown the database
2. Edit lxecal.nlt (lxecal.dat in Oracle7) in $ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls.
e.g: to add one day after Sep-29-2000:
DEFINE calendar
calendar_name = "Arabic Hijrah"
DEFINE calendar_deviation
deviation_data = {
<"Sep-29-2000 ad">:1
ENDDEFINE calendar_deviation
ENDDEFINE calendar
Note: Gregorian date specified in the deviation should correspond to one of
29th, 30th or 31th days of the hijrah calendar.
3. Run the NLS Calendar Utility lxegen to register your modification to Oracle calendar
system, this utility generates lxecalah.nlb file in the same directory mentioned above.
4. startup the database.
The same procedure can be followed to subtract days, but number specified in the
deviation_data should be greater than 10.
<e.g: 11 --> subtract one day, 12 --> subtract two days ...etc>

Hope this helps

Difference between real Hijri Date with Oracle Hijri date

Dear ALL,
I will appreciate if any one please let me the solution for this problem. In my application I show the Date in Hijri using the NLS setting. but the issue that "i face a deference between the real hijri date with oracle hijri date"
Assume that the real hijri date on 18-SEP-2012 was 02/11/1433 in hijri but in oracle was 03/11/1433
when I execute the following query it shows me "1433/11/03", but the actual Hijri date is "1433/11/02"
select to_char(to_date('20120918','YYYYMMDD'),'YYYY/MM/DD', 'NLS_calendar='''||'ARABIC hijrah') FROM DUAL;
IFTIKHAR

Hi,
It works correctly for me, too:
SELECT TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ('20120918', 'YYYYMMDD')
          , 'YYYY/MM/DD'
          , 'NLS_calendar=''ARABIC hijrah'''
          )      AS h_date
FROM    dual;Output:
H_DATE
1433/11/02                                                                      I tried it on Oracle versions
9.2.0.6.0
10.1.0.2.0
10.2.0.3.0
11.1.0.6.0
11.2.0.1.0
and got the same results every time. What version of Oracle are you using? What other software (front end, OS, ...)?
If it's consistently giving you the results for the day after the day wanted, then subtract 1 day before calling TO_CHAR. I know this is not a solution, just a work-around until you find and fix the real problem.

Arabic Characters data is retrieved ??? from database

Hello
on entering Arabic Characters data is retrieved ??? from database 10G 2
any suggestions pls
my pc lang is Arabic default
my nls_lang is ARABIC_SAUDI ARABIA.AR8MSWIN1256
both for : KEY_DevSuiteHome1
and the : KEY_OraDb10g_home1
Regards,
Abdetu

If this is a recent installation and the non-Arabic data in the database isn't critical, the simplest solution would be to delete the existing database on your colleague's machine and to create a new one. Assuming you're using the DBCA to create the database, make sure when going through the installation this time that the database character set supports Arabic data (i.e. a database character set of Windows-1256 or UTF-8).
And if these databases are intended to be separate development databases for the same project, I would suggest spending some time working on developing a process to ensure that each developer's local instance is configured identically and that these configurations match the production configuration. It would be unfortunate, for example, if you were developing on a Windows-1256 database and the production database turned out to have a different character set. The simplest (though not necessarily most elegant) solution would probably to create a template using the DBCA and to use that template on each developer's machine rather than having people individually click through the installer.

Convert Solar Hejra(Hijri) date to Anno Domini date

Hi everyone:
I am developeing an application cfm format. The company has

you know any solution/tutorial or ready_to_use code in cfm format?
Or if it is not avaiable what do you seggest? I use some javascript

that *is* a ready to use convertor. to convert the islamic
calendar dates to
gregorian (well to cf datetime objects) you use the
i18nDateParse function. you
can ignore the rest of the methods in that CFC (though if you
deal w/this sort
of thing once, you'll likely deal with it again). the only
tricky bit is knowing
if the original islamic dates are based on civil or religious
calendars.

Hijri Date (arabian calendar)

Gentlemen:
i'm desinging a databse schema for arabic data
is there a new data type for hijri arabian mothes?
or i should use varchar2 (text) data type
is there a ready sotred procedures for that or what?

I am no quite sure if I understood your question. But you can just use the regular DATE datatype, if you need to store dates into the database. Use the NLS_CALENDAR parameter (set using ALTER SESSION or an an environment variable) to switch between the different Calendar systems including Arabic Hijrah.

What database setting is needed to support ARABIC language data ?

Hi All
What is the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 setting that will let APEX store and display ARABIC data properly ?
Thank you.

Hello Ahmed,
First, you’re welcome.
Second, a bit of self promotion, but if you are using APEX to develop in Arabic you might find my book interesting as it includes a special chapter on APEX Right-To-Left support.

Arabic CLOB Date

Guys .. I have tables that contain CLOB data fields in arabic.. and when I'm having a report on these tables , the disp of atahe report crashs ( in other word, the report content mixed )
also ..
in case i want to export the report to csv file.. the arabic content is not encoded and it being displayed as quistion marks (???????)
Any help guys ,,,i ready need it

Hello,
" and when I'm having a report on these tables , the disp of atahe report crashs ( in other word, the report content mixed )"Arabic is written from right to left. Are you setting the orientation of your page report correctly?
You can set it on a page level, using the style attribute "direction : rtl" on the page 'body' tag (using CSS) or on your page header. You can also set it on a specific column, using the same attribute.
in case i want to export the report to csv file.. the arabic content is not encoded and it being displayed as quistion marks (???????)APEX is exporting all its files in utf-8. Your question mark characters probably indicate that your client can't read utf-8. In addition, you should go to the globalization definitions of your application, and set the "Automatic CSV Encoding" to "Yes".
Regards,
Arie.
