Yea, to see it on a clint's SQL*Plus You have to modify
\Hkey_local_machine\software\oracle\NLS_DATE_FORMAT

At least this is on NT, I don't know about 95, 98

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.
