Question

I found out my servers, running Oracle 10g, were not initializing with the same NLS_SORT value when using the sqlplus binary.

Is there a way to set the default NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS for every instance of sqlplus?

PS: The idea is not to do an ALTER SESSION at the beginning of every sql script.

Was it helpful?

Solution

the NLS parameters are specified by the client application. SQL*Plus on windows will have its parameters defined in the registry (same as the ORACLE_HOME where it is installed). On *nix systems the paremeters are defined as environment variable.

You can find additionnal information in the documentation.

OTHER TIPS

Use an ON LOGON trigger to do the ALTER SESSION?

Then you can do it in one place and won't have have to change every client.
