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''')
