Check you NLS_DATE_FORMAT and make sure you have it set to DD-MON-RR (Based on your format) and not DD-MON-YY. The RR causes it to respect the Y2K issues. If you can't bounce the database to reset the parameter, I suggest you alter your select to include 4 digit years.

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
