Hi Michiel,

The default dateformat is DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS. You may change the default dateformat in BDF_SETUP table by changing the value of "DefaultDatasourceDateFormat" named parameter in the table.

Thanks Samet,

So there will be no way of setting it per user (as session property or someting)?

Yes, unfortunately you cannot set it using any API at the moment.

Hi Michiel,
Maybe there is a "hack" you can use. First rename table bdf_setup to bdf_setup$:
rename bdf_setup to bdf_setup$;
Then create a view to manipulate the returned data the way you want it. A very very simple example follows: create or replace view bdf_setup as selecr var_cd, bdf_setup_oid, decode(var_cd, 'DefaultDatasourceDateFormat', decode(put_your_critera_here, 'value_1', 'DD/MM/YYYY', 'value_2', 'MM/DD/YYYY', ...... value_tx --default formspider value ), value_tx ) value_tx from bdf_setup$

I have not tested the code, but I used the same concept many times.
