Re: NLS_DATE_FORMAT not effective..help!
Hi, Thanks for the reply. But as far as i tried , it is not possible to set NLS_DATE_FORMAT at instance level (except the entry in init file.) I think by using LOGON we won't be able to achieve setting NLS_DATE_FORMAT for the entire instance (all the sessions) .

Oh yes you can. Here is the script I run as SYSTEM and it provides a common date format for all logins - UNLESS they override it with a SUBSEQUENT Alter Session or it is defined in their REGISTRY (Windows users). Instead of ON DATABASE, you can also limit it to a particular Schema. Otherwise, I am really sorry if I have completely misunderstood the problem :-) CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER on_logon AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE declare v_cur integer; v_cur2 integer; begin v_cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor; dbms_sql.parse(v_cur,'alter session set nls_date_format=''MM/DD/''', dbms_sql.native); v_cur2 := dbms_sql.execute(v_cur); end; / -Original Message- Sent: 21 March 2001 11:35 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, Thanks for the reply.

RE: NLS_DATE_FORMAT not effective..help!
The CREATE TRIGGER ... AFTER LOGON ON DATABASE will work on a session by session basis. As each session logs on to the database it will execute the trigger for that user. I currently use it in my database to do a "alter session set current_schema=?" to that I can point different users to different default schemas (so that the applications were no longer logging into the schema that owned all the objects and the developers didn't have to change any of their code to qualify all the tables, views, and sequences).
