If you are entering 01/01/01 in the date field,
dd-mm-yyyy format mask will give the output as 01-01-0001

You can also give dd-mm-rrrr will give the correct output 01-01-2001

Thanks & Regards

I don't think that was the question.
It would seem to me OP wants to "display" their DATA column in a different format.
Or else, how would oracle know one is entering dd/mm/yyy vs. mm/dd/yyyy.
