Answer 1

For the Oracle JDBC driver I am using, the format is hard-coded in the driver library, so should only differ across systems if different driver versions are in use.

See my attempt to get an answer to the same question here: Where is the date format specified when reading a date as a string from JDBC ResultSet.

(Apologies for asking a separate question, but as your question had been answered multiple times with the ever-helpful "just don't do that" response, I tried again...).
