Neither of these answers would work for me  not the Preferences NLS configuration option or the ALTER statement  This was the only approach that worked in my case   dbms session set nls  nls date format     DD-MM-YYYY HH24 MI SS         added after the BEGIN statement  I am using PL SQL Developer v9 03 1641  Hopefully this is of help to someone

To expand on some of the previous answers  I found that Oracle DATE objects behave different from Oracle TIMESTAMP objects  In particular  if you set your NLS DATE FORMAT to include fractional seconds  the entire time portion is omitted    Format  YYYY-MM-DD HH24 MI SS  works as expected  for DATE and TIMESTAMP Format  YYYY-MM-DD HH24 MI SSXFF  displays just the date portion for DATE  works as expected for TIMESTAMP   My personal preference is to set DATE to  YYYY-MM-DD HH24 MI SS   and to set TIMESTAMP to  YYYY-MM-DD HH24 MI SSXFF

Can you try this   Go to Tools  Preferences   Database   NLS and set the Date Format as MM DD YYYY HH24 MI SS

Date format can also be set by using below query  -  alter SESSION  set NLS DATE FORMAT    date format   e g    alter SESSION set NLS DATE FORMAT    DD-MM-YYYY HH24 MI SS
