* setting a non-standard date format for the duration of a session

I understand I can use the function to_date(s,f) for converting a string
into a date using a non-standard format.
I'm wondering if there is a way to set a non-standard date format for
the duration of a session, something like the "ALTER SESSION SET
NLS_DATE_FORMAT='f'" Oracle statement.
Thank you. Kind regards, Cris

Sort of. See the Docs on "Runtime Configuration" on the GUC variable
"Datestyle".
