Subject: Date format element rule change


Would any of you who have convenient access to pre-9i
databases be willing to test something for me? It used to be
possible to specify a date format element twice in a format
model. For example, in the following the month is specified
twice:

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'Mon (MM) DD, YYYY';

In Oracle9i this is no longer possible. The thing is, I'm
not sure in what version the rules changed. Is the above
possible in 8i? in 8? in 7?

Best regards,
