You need SQlite and then some root explore to understand DB structure. You need to then query contact db appropriately. 

 

However its rather better not to invent wheel again.

I have been using Birthday Wish app and I want to try the same with Tasker. I have rooted my phone. Could you elaborate more about how to get this task done using Shell Command?

Tasker without root can't drill into contacts for details as you need contact's B date to compare &  send sms.

If rooted you can pull contact's B Day (Shell command) and trigger SMS using a time context. Not required to depend on calender entry then. 

However, have a look at a well tested free app http://goo.gl/oj5A1D that allows more options like Message & time variation per contact and can send sms or to facebook.

I have saved contacts in my Google account along with their birthdays. Can I detect the birthday event from “Contacts’ birthdays and events" calendar, search the calendar title in contacts and wish the respective person via SMS automatically with a pre defined message using TASKER?
