Valid Day Values of Week for Different NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE

In this post, I listed valid day values of some NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE other than AMERICAN and ENGLISH for you as a reference in order to solve ORA-01846: not a valid day of the week in SQL statements with TO_DATE function.

As for valid values of week days, you may check: Valid Month Values for Different NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE.

Please not that, the first day of a week (1-7) may vary from territory to territory. For instance, in AMERICA territory, the first day of week is SUNDAY. For Islamic countries, the first day of week is Saturday.

For complete language to territory mapping in Oracle, you may check: NLS_LANGUAGE to NLS_TERRITORY Mapping Table.

If you like to know more valid day values on languages other than the above listed, please leave you message in the comment.
