Jalali calender is not implemented in MySQL yet. But MySQL doesn't check the validity of Date entered. I mean you can enter any date having day part from 1 to 31. So Jalali Date can be saved in Date data type of MySQL. Also operations such as equality or .. works fine with it. The only problem is the Add_Date, Sub_Date and functions like that which doesn't work for Persian Date. A Multi-Calender system for MySQL is going to be developed in near future (probably by me) so if you need the full functionality, you should wait till then. Regards, -- __ \ /_\\_-//_ Mohsen A.
