Hi All,

Can you please take a look at the below details and let me know what i'm missing or point me to the right direction?

We have explicitly set the nls_date_format to "DD-MON-FXYYYY" in the pfile

-- >On the database sever when i login as sys and do show parameter nls_date...i get the below -

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
nls_date_format string DD-MON-FXYYYY
nls_date_language string

-- >Same steps when i perform on my machine with toad/sqlplus i'm getting different outputs.

NAME VALUE
nls_date_language AMERICAN
nls_date_format DD-MON-RR

Note: I haven't explicitly set any of the NLS parameters on my windows machine. Not sure from where the select on v$parameter where name like 'nls_date%' is getting different result set.

Thanks for your time on this..
Raghu Yella.

What are your own PC's regional settings set to?

Even if you don't explicitly set the NLS_DATE_FORMAT, Oracle (and I bet TOAD) does it at installation time depending on your regional OS settings as Littlefoot suggested.

How to know if it has installed or has a setting on my machine?

I have checked for environmental settings under SYSTEM properties. But couldn't find any NLS settings there.

Thanks..

Thanks Michel.

I don't see anything related to NLS_DATE entry under the registry.

Came across below entry, removed it and restarted the machine and still see the same results.

NAME VALUE
nls_date_language AMERICAN
nls_date_format DD-MON-RR

We are expecting to see below entry..which we see it on the DB server -
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
nls_date_format string DD-MON-FXYYYY
nls_date_language string

Hi Blackswan,

Not sure the reason for your posting.. let me know if i missed any information?

I have clearly explained my question. Also i have done the research about this issue and as i couldn't find a solution i'm asking here.

Thanks,
Raghu.

On my laptop opened a sqlplus session and performed the below statement.

sql>show parameter nls_date

NAME VALUE
nls_date_language AMERICAN
nls_date_format DD-MON-RR

We are expecting to see the below values on the client machine but it's not happening -
(Below are the values from the DB server)

sql>show parameter nls_date

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
nls_date_format string DD-MON-FXYYYY
nls_date_language string

When not explicitly set, it is derived from other parameters: NLS_LANG, NLS_LANGUAGE, NLS_TERRITORY.

Please read How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
