Re: Year 2000 problem with SQL *Net?

add the following command to your INITxxx.ora configuration file (asap): =

NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MMM-YYYY' or NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MMM-RR'

Locate and edit your login.sql file (for SQL*PLUS) which is in
c:\orawin\dbs\LOGIN.SQL
or
c:\orant\dbs\login.sql
or
c:\orawin95\dbs\login.sql

add:
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY'; or
alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-RR';
