# Formatting display of locale-sensitive data

To display dates, timestamps, numbers, and times in the format of the `ij` Session locale, use the LocalizedDisplay command.
Note: These options do not change how Derby stores locale-sensitive data, simply how the tool displays the data.
The following example demonstrates using localizedDisplay in an en_US locale:

    ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
    1
    ----------
    2001-09-06
    1 row selected
    ij> localizeddisplay on;
    ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
    1
    ------------------
    September 6, 2001
    1 row selected
