Re: "ORA-01843: not a valid month"

If it works great with sqlplus, you have a login.sql with the following statement
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MM-RR' (hopefully RR instead of YY). The default date format of Oracle is DD-MON-YY and login.sql is executed in sqlplus only
You are strongly advised *NEVER EVER* to rely on a default date format, DBAs will just *love* you when you do.
So please be a nice guy and use that to_date function in your insert *ALWAYS* The other solution is to create a logon trigger for your user changing nls_date_format.
