Hi Gurus,
We want to change the default date format of oracle from
'dd-mon-yy' to 'MM/DD/YYYY' format for one of our database ( 8.1.6 ).
I have set NLS_DATE_FORMAT as "MM/DD/YYYY" (also tried RRRR for year!)
in init file. It doesn't seems to have any effect when i query sysdate
(SQL PLUS) from a client PC (Win 95 / Oracle 8 client / SQL PLUS) .
Still in SQL PLUS it is displaying the date as 20-MAR-01 ( default
format - dd-mon-yy)
Ofcourse, after modifying, i bounced the db and listener.
Interesting thing is when i query sysdate from SQLPLUS of my server
(where Oracle is installed ), it is giving me the date as
SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
03/20/200 ( it should be 03/20/2001 )
What went wrong? Did anyone faced similar problem....?
Do i need to modify registry in client PCs ( Win 9X)...??
Thank You.
Arul.
