setting NLS_DATE_FORMAT globally rather than per session?

I've received a request for NLS_DATE_FORMAT to be set globally in a
database to "Mon dd yyyy hh:mi:ssAM" so that ad hoc queries that
use the time don't have to use the to_date function.



Is this a reasonable or common thing to do?  We're in a single
timezone in a single country, so there are no localization
issues to worry about.



TIA!



Mark
