The Q++ Studio sample database includes international bank and public holidays for all 194 countries and 48 semi-autonomous territories of the world (the current year's data can be viewed online at http://www.qppstudio.net/publicholidays.htm).

 

This database is made up of recurrence rules (such as : Good Friday = 2 days before Easter) so that, in principle, you could use the current database, and Q++, to immediately calculate world holidays for the next 100 or 200 years. However, in real life, the rules for celebrating holidays do change; some are added, some are removed, some are renamed, ... Therefore, the rules that are contained in this sample database are entirely reviewed every summer and a new updated version of this database is available in early September.

 

This new sample database can then be downloaded and imported into your Q++ system, thereby automatically updating the holidays contained in the sample holidays sets.
