sir,
i know something about julian date.if you change your date in to the julian, ithink it will count no of days from the bc.
i am using this one to convert the number into words
select to_char(to_date('5000','j'),'jsp') from dual;
it will give the following result.
FIVE THOUSAND.

Julian date is format from legacy systems (i.e. COBOL). It is in the form YYDDD where YY represented the last two digits of the year and DDD represented the day of the year. It has nothing to do with BC).
For example,
January 28, 1998 would be ==> 98028
December 31, 1999 would be ==> 99365
P.S. Remember Y2K...
