Re: Date

IIRC, This is easier said than done, depending on the Client OS's involved..

You can place NLS_ parameters in the init<sid>.ora file-.

However:
If ANY NLS_ parameters are set on the CLIENT machine ( at least with Windows Registry settings) ALL NLS_ parameters that are not explicitly set there will be set to DEFAULT values regardless of the instance-wide ( init<sid>.ora) setting.
