It looks OK to me. I don't think it obeys Windows settings...for example,
I have my Windows short date as d/MM/yyyy but I get 07-MAR-2003 returned
for today's date...the database has character set NONE.

What tool are you using? What character set?
Just curious - why do you need to get the date as a string? If you bring
it into your application and cast it as a date type, you can then use a
Windows tool to format it for display.
