NLS Masks WIth Extension

Hi All,
Maybe I am just missing something in how the extension works. Here's the situation. In one of the databases I work with (11c in this case) the default NLS Date Format is DD-MON-YY. In the extension if i right click that database and open a new scrap SQL file and do a simple query like:
SELECT some_date_field FROM some_table;
The output comes back in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS
If I alter session alter session set nls_date_format='YYYY-MM-DD:HH:MI:SS'; or really anything and re-execute the query the results stay in this same format. Is there no way to utilize NLS_DATE_FORMAT in the extension? Maybe some setting I am missing?

Hi,
We just released version 19.3.4 which should fix this issue. Could you please try it out and let me know?

Just did and it is absolutely working both in the tabular output as well as if i save to CSV. I'll check out the other updates as well. Nice one guys.

Is there a way to set the default NLS so I don't need to alter my session each time?
-
No, not through these tools... you could set up a login trigger in the database.
We are looking into a "login.sql" sort of solution that would solve this problem.

Thanks. For now I created a bookmark that I can just run when I need it.
