Second code example |
As a much better approach it is written:
DECLARE
my_birthdate DATE :=
TO_DATE ('09-SEP-58', 'DD-MON-RR');
Still this code is relying on the external setting of NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE.
The code should thus be:
DECLARE
my_birthdate DATE :=
TO_DATE ('09-SEP-58', 'DD-MON-RR', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=''AMERICAN''')
