Hi,

It depends what date format your database has
nls_date_format, or which date format is assigned to your session.

BINTEST> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD/MM/YYYY';

Session altered.

BINTEST> select sysdate from dual;

SYSDATE
----------
09/02/2001

The bottom line is the date is stored in oracle internally in a binary format, can be displayed in any format you want.
