set nls_date_format for the session to 'ddmmyyyy'. In this case also he needs to enter date as '09091999' and not '991999'! Evaluate the pros and cons before making such a change in live db.

Thanks,

hi oracle gurus,
my client is very weird,he wants to enter the date in the format 'dd-mm-yyyy'
without pressing space instead of delimiters,e.g. he presses '991999' and wants oracle to change it to '09-09-1999' .!!! Can I do it for him?
If anyone knows how,I'll be very grateful.

                                        stucked with date formats
