Answer 1

The issue seems to be due to mismatch between NLS parameters in client and database. For such questions, always remember to post the OS details, DB version up to 4 decimals.

To check the the parameter values:

SELECT * FROM v$nls_parameters;
SELECT * FROM nls_database_parameters;

1. Set the NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE in client exactly same as that of Database. In your case, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE in database is AMERICAN.

2. Set the environment variable for NLS_LANG as :

[NLS_LANGUAGE]_[NLS_TERRITORY].[NLS_CHARACTERSET]

so, set it as AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252

3. Another observation is that, your other NLS parameters also needs to be changed in client to match with that of Database. Else, you will find similar issues every now and then, just not with DATE.
