Hello list, I am using 9.2.0.1.0 enterprise edition on windows. Earlier when I use to specify nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII in 9i release 1 I would get the following messages in French
c:> sqlplus Entrez le nom utilisateur : But now when I specify nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII , sqlplus sticks to english c:> sqlplus Enter user-name: Any ideas ? I tried out the following but to no avail : 1. I specified ora_nls33 to point to D:\OracleXP\Ora92\ocommon\nls\ADMIN\DATA where D:\OracleXP\Ora92\ is my %oracle_home% 2. I set nls_lang=French_France.US7ASCII , log in as a user, checked NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS. It shows that NLS_LANGUAGE is FRENCH and NLS_TERRITORY is FRANCE. When I select from a column containing dates , the months are in French. sysdate also gives the month in french 3. Same behaviour with nls_lang=French_France.WE8MSWIN1252 and nls_lang=nls_lang=French_France.UTF8 (although this is an incorrect specification since there are no utf8 windows clients ) 4. Similarly when I specify nls_lang=ENGLISH_INDIA.WE8MSWIN1252 my queries pick up the correct local currency symbol. and nls_language and nls_territory values in nls_session_parameters are correct. 5. Alert log doesn't show any errors. My database character set is AL32UTF8 , did not specify an nchar characterset while creating the database. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
