oracle date

Hello all,


in some initialisation file it is possible to set the default presentation
of the date datatype for an Oracle instance, most of the times set to
dd-mmm-yy. In regard of the Y2K problem I asked our DBA's to set that
default to dd-mm-yyyy. But they say Oracle recommends NOT to do that!?!? Is
that true and if so, why?


Remark: I am writing about instance level of that setting, not about the
session setting.


Thanks


Frank
