AFAIK.

Should it be?  Can anyone check how this works on Oracle?


Oracle states clearly in the SQL Reference manual:

"A modifier can appear in a format model more than once. In such a case, each subsequent occurrence toggles the effects of the modifier."

I get the following results:

select to_char(DATE'2009-1-1','FMDD.FMMM.FMYY') from dual;

1.01.9

select to_char(DATE'2009-1-1','FM DD.MM.YY') from dual

1.1.9
