How to set data format in SQL Developer?
To configure data formatting, you can utilize the formatting options offered by SQL Developer. Here are the steps to set the data format:
- Open SQL Developer and connect to the database.
- Select “Preferences” from the “Tools” menu.
- In the pop-up preferences dialog, expand the “database” option and then select “worksheet”.
- In the right panel, you can see various options for data formats.
- Choose the appropriate data format option according to your needs; for example, you can select date format, numerical format, string format, etc.
- Click on the “Apply” button, then click on the “OK” button.
- When you query or browse table data now, the data will be displayed in the format you have set.
Please note that these settings will apply to the entire SQL Developer session until you make changes. Additionally, different databases may have different format options, so you may need to make appropriate settings based on the database you are using.
