Is ORA_NLS the same thing as NLS_LANG? What is LD_LIBRARY_PATH typically set too? We are trying to upgrade from 8.0.5 to 8.1.6 on HPUX 11. 8.0.5 has NLS_LANG set to American_America.WE8ISO... but doesn't have anything for ORA_NLS. Want to know what to set it to for 8.1.6. Current 8.0.5 install also does not have anything set for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but it appears it is necessary for 8.1.6? What is it typically set too? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Connie Milliken INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
