Hi,

To alter for a session give the command

Alter Session Set Nls_Date_Format = 'mm/dd/yyyy';

This will work only for that session. You can give this command provided you have the appropriate rights to run the alter session command.

To change it permanently across sessions, in the registry (assuming you are working on Windows) change / add the registry entry for NLS_DATE having value mm/dd/yyyy

Hope this helps...
