Actually, the "format" is a display thing only...

If you need it formatted on the GUI side, do it when displaying the date/time.

thnx, i know that. i am lazy to format value on client. i wanted to set it globally. in php it is possible to do this by some function (but i think it uses client api). in oracle it is possible by this sql statement: alter session set nls.....
i don't know if something simillar exists in interbase/firebird.

No, Firebird date/time values are no strings of text, but numbers. Formatting (converting the numbers to a human readable format) needs to be done on the client side...
