Hi
Can i change the format of sysdate,so that while inserting the dates i need not use any conversion functions to change the format each time.
To be more clear. After settingup the sysdate.If i give the statement
select sysdate from dual;
this should return the date in the format i have set.

you can change default date format for a particular session using
ALTER session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yyyy'
or you can set initialization parameter
NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "dd/mm/yyyy" in intialization file.
