Can anyone explain the full form of "ddsp" in oracle sql command?
It is a spelled number.
SQL> select sysdate,
2 to_char(sysdate, 'ddsp') ex1
3 from dual;
SYSDATE EX1

I'm using jaspersoft server to print some pdf files.
The server is connected to an Oracle Database through oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.
It's configured as follows :
The server is working nicely. However when running a report that has a query like :
select to_char('Month', sysdate) from dual;
The result is always in english.
Is it possible to change Jaspersoft server connection to Oracle and make it work in another language ?
Thanks.
Regards,
SELECT statement you posted is invalid. It won't work at all:
SQL> select to_char('Month', sysdate) from dual;
select to_char('Month', sysdate) from dual
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number
When fixed:
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'Month') from dual;

I run the follows to update the record
update lims_min.languages
set Apriori = 'Русский'
where langid = 'RUS';
COMMIT;
when I do select, I see the ???? instead of the correct word. Apriori is NVARCHAR2.
Is there another trick here?
This is not an answer but is too long for a comment.
As already said you need to check NLS_LANG but also
your database character sets
what is the tool used to display data
the platform used (Windows, Linux, ...)
if you use Windows are you using a GUI program or a CLI program.
The following works on Linux CLI environment with SQLPlus:
SQL> select banner from v$version where rownum=1;
BANNER

Need to know following points:
Where to locate Scheduled jobs in Oracle SQL Developer?
How to remove default date format from SQL Developer.
Jobs can be found within the "Scheduler" node through the "Connections" tab (note: the "Scheduler" node is not provided within the "Schema Browser" tab):
Alternatively, query
select * from user_scheduler_jobs;
select * from user_jobs;
for jobs created with DBMS_SCHEDULER or DBMS_JOB, respectively.
Date format can be set in "Tools" - "Preference"s menu, under the "Database" node, NLS settings.
[EDIT]
If you want to specify format every time, you can do that in both TO_CHAR and TO_DATE functions (depending on what you're doing). Here are a few examples:
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi') one_date,
2 to_char(date '2019-08-25', 'mon, dd yyyy') two_date,
3 to_date('12-18-2018 13:22', 'mm-dd-yyyy hh24:mi') three_date
4 from dual;
ONE_DATE TWO_DATE THREE_DATE

I found good results from this query, select * from dba_scheduler_jobs;
Please explain how to write a create query where i can write a spcific date in a specific format (suppose dd/MM/yy) in oracle. Suppose i need my columns in my table ORDERS to be-
order_id, order_date, quantity
From the documentation:
"The database stores dates internally as numbers. Dates are stored in
fixed-length fields of 7 bytes each, corresponding to century, year,
month, day, hour, minute, and second."
And what that looks like:
SQL> select dump(sysdate) from dual
2 /
DUMP(SYSDATE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typ=13 Len=8: 222,7,9,7,2,48,32,0
SQL>
Which actually looks like eight bytes but interestingly a date is nine bytes long:
SQL> select lengthb(sysdate) from dual
2 /
LENGTHB(SYSDATE)
----------------
9
SQL>
Anyway, storage is fixed and entirely independent of the displaying of dates.
The default date format is governed by the NLS_DATETIME_FORMAT, which is defaulted by the NLS_TERRITORY setting. This is how Oracle determines Currencym, number, formats, days of the week and so on. Find out more by reading the Globalization Support guide.
If you want a different default format mask for your dates this can be set at the database level. This is a big decision. Fortunately it can also be set at a more granular level:
SQL> select sysdate from dual
2 /
SYSDATE
---------
07-SEP-14
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format='Month DD YYYY HH12:MI AM'
2 /
Session altered.
SQL> select sysdate from dual
2 /
SYSDATE

As far as input of dates goes, Oracle expects strings containing dates to have the same format as that specified by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT. If this is not the case then we have to apply a conversion using the TO_DATE() function and supplying the mask of the string:
SQL> select to_date('31/05/14','DD/MM/YY') from dual
2 /
TO_DATE('31/05/14','DD/MM/

I need to select some values from an Informix database via Oracle ODBC. One of the columns is a timestamp, and when I just select it all I see in SQL*Plus is the date value. How do I get the time as well?
By default SQL*Plus will display the date in the format specified by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT system parameter (client side). You can alter this behaviour by setting the NLS_DATE_FORMAT appropriately. You can also explicitly display the time data:
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SYSDATE
-----------
05/10/2009
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'hh24:mi') from dual;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH24:MI')
