Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: NLS_DATE_FORMAT not effective..help!
Oh yes you can. Here is the script I run as SYSTEM and it provides a common
date format for
all logins - UNLESS they override it with a SUBSEQUENT Alter Session or it
is defined in their REGISTRY
(Windows users).
Instead of ON DATABASE, you can also limit it to a particular Schema.
Otherwise, I am really sorry if I have completely misunderstood the problem :-)
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER on_logon
AFTER LOGON
ON DATABASE
declare
v_cur integer;
v_cur2 integer;
begin
v_cur := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse(v_cur,'alter session set
nls_date_format=''MM/DD/YYYY''',
dbms_sql.native);
v_cur2 := dbms_sql.execute(v_cur);

Thanks for the reply.
But as far as i tried , it is not possible to set NLS_DATE_FORMAT at
instance
level (except the entry in init file.)
I think
