In most cases I think you don't need to know that...

Here is some useful info:

The following DBCC command will show you the settings for your connection.

The actual values are determined by the default language of the login, but can be modified at any time after login.

Language, dateformat, and datefirst determine various aspects of datetime settings.


dbcc useroptions with no_infomsgs

Results:
Set Option       	Value
-----------------------	-------------
textsize     		64512
language     		us_english
dateformat       	mdy
datefirst        	7
quoted_identifier	SET
arithabort		SET
ansi_null_dflt_on	SET
ansi_defaults		SET
ansi_warnings		SET
ansi_padding		SET
ansi_nulls		SET
concat_null_yields_null	SET

You can change the initial setting by changing the default language for each login to British English.

You can change them at run-time using the SET command.
