Dear Sir

I have a server having Dateformat as dd/mm/yyyy.I wanted to change the date format to mm/dd/yyy.To change the date format I have written the script as

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='MM/DD/YYYY';



In SQL PLus the Date Format is showing as "MM/DD/YYYY".Whereas in PL/SQL Developer the Date format is showing as "DD/MM/YYYY".

what is the reason as to not showing the same date format in both the tools ?

Appreciate your help on the above?

Regards

The statement works for the current session only.

Dear Sir

Thanks for the reply but lets say.................
I HAVE WRITTEN THE QUERY AS


ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='MM/DD/YYYY';


When I run the above mention scipt in SQL PLus the date format in iSQLPlus is getting changed to "MM/DD/YYYY" is shown as below.

select sysdate from dual
sysdate
-------------
06/09/2009



When I run the above mentioned script in PL/SQL Developer It is giving me Date format as "DD/MM/YYYY"

select sysdate from dual
sysdate
----------
09/06/2009



May I know what is the reason as to why not there is same date format in both the tools?

Appreciate your help on the above?

Many reasons as we can't see what you did.
registry parameter
instance parameter
database parameter
and so on

The fact is that:
