Thanks for your effort. But it raises error for dates that does not exists in Gregorian canlendar. For example: 2019-5-19 -> 1398-2-29

you should make the functions immutable and stable, other wise it might cause performance issue.

Thanks for functions. There is instability in some dates and causes ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "1400-2-31". I think it's for dates that does not exists in Gregorian calendar!

I wrote this plpgsql code to run SELECT queries manually on database and view the data.

We should never store Jalali dates in database unless we have a very good reason (like monthly quota or monthly events that are %100 dependent to Jalali calendar).
Calendar conversion should be done in back-end and front-end code, but outside database.
