hi all we had a strange sort order on a attribute in a table with dashes (-) in the data.
example query with default NLS_SORT (NLS_LANGUAGE=american) R/10-02 R/1-01 R/101-00 R/101-03 query with NLS_SORT=BINARY R/1-01 R/10-02 R/101-00 R/101-03 Anyone with an explanation why this parameter is not default BINARY ? thanks vr.gr.
