Rman date format

Ever get annoyed that rman date formats just show the date and no time element (i know i do). Well it's easily fixed

just run

export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';

Then when you start your rman session it's all changed to this format

 rman target=/

As easy as that - so if you set that in the .profile it will always be set
