Oops forgot to say the rest!
SELECT TO_CHAR(sale_date, 'Day DD Month YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as nice_sale_date
FROM sales
WHERE sales_id=3939
This would return
Nice_sale_date

if you do the same query and add the NLS specifier
SELECT TO_CHAR(sale_date,'Day DD Month YYYY
HH24:MI:SS','NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH') as nice_sale_date
FROM sales
WHERE sales_id=3939
you get it in français
Nice_sale_date

Hi everybody,
Does anyone has the experience of creating a oracle database to store
french characters ? Please give me advise of how to do this, if
anyone has this experience before.
