Very Computer

Hi All,

Could somebody please tell me how to set the default mask of a session to
include the four digit year? Currently, my sql*plus date mask is
'dd-Mon-yy', and I wanted it to be 'dd-Mon-yyyy' just for my current
session.

Thank you very much for your time.

Yongge

alter session set nls_date_format = 'dd-Mon-yyyy'

Your welcome,
