Before you run the SELECT query
try to run:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD-MON-RRRR' then you will have Y2K compliance session.

On ORACLE 7.3.4 database, I tried to select date less than "31-DEC-96". the following statement does NOT work correctly:

   select account_id, datestamp from table1    where to_char(datestamp,'DD-MON-YY') < '31-DEC-96';

It still print date like '21_JAN-98'.

Anyone can give me a hint?

Thanks
