SQL Developer 3 - NLS settings not working [message #649166]

I am using sql developer Version 3.1.07 Build MAIN-07.42 Windows 7. I set the NLS settings, but they have no effect.

/forum/fa/13064/0/

The result of the queries below is still 15-MAR-16

create table testtable
(
  someday date
);

insert into testtable values (sysdate);

select * from testtable;

Seems like a bug. What do I have to do in order to change the NLS date setting?

Thanks,
Doug

You can put the following in your SQL script:

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT ='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';

Thanks. I know how to set via SQL. There would be 3 commands I would have to do, but I may open 10 or 20 connections in a day. I am trying to fix the issue with SQL developer so I don't have to copy and paste all of the commands each time.

I have just tested it on my SQL Developer 4.1, and it works correctly.

Consider upgrading to the most recent version; why do you still use 3.x? It doesn't cost anything, after all ...

I tried using 4.something until all my connections disappeared, then I went back to the old one, then this NLS bug showed up. I will try the newest version and hopefully the disappearing connections bug has been fixed.

Thanks,
Doug
