# 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 the way Derby stores locale-sensitive data, simply the way the tool displays the data.
The following example demonstrates the use of `LocalizedDisplay` in an `en_US` locale:

    ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
    1
    ----------
    2011-05-23
    1 row selected
    ij> localizeddisplay on;
    ij> VALUES CURRENT_DATE;
    1
    ------------------
    May 23, 2011
    1 row selected
