Find the default date format for your current session


For input and output of dates, every Oracle Database instance has a default date format model (also called a mask) that is set by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT initialization parameter. (Initialization parameters determine the default settings for Oracle Database instances. Users who have appropriate permissions can change some of these parameters on a per-database, per-instance, or per-session basis.) When you first query the data stored in a table column with a DATE datatype, Oracle Database displays it with a format mask of either DD-MON-YYYY or DD-MON-RR, depending on which is set as the default.

INDEX Definition

In Oracle, an  INDEX  is a database object intended to improve the performance of  SELECT  queries. Indexes are created on table columns, and the index stores all the values of the column under index segments. If the  SELECT  query uses an indexed column in any of the  WHERE  conditions, the query uses the index segment instead of performing a full table scan. This results in enhanced query performance.
