Hello all. I have a strange problem with data sorting using an Oracle 8.1.7 database.
I set the database to use binary sorting (NLS_SORT=BINARY), independent from GERMAN language setting. When I'm doing a select on a table with values like A1, A2, ... AA, AB, ... I get the correct result according to binary sorting. Yet, if I'm doing this from Tomcat (4.1.24 on WinXP) the data returned is sorted in GERMAN sorting order, i.e. AA, AB, ..., A1, A2, ... So it seems either Tomcat ignores the setting of the NLS_SORT environment variable, or it is implicitly (by Tomcat) or explicitly (by some library code, which I didn't find yet) overridden. Anybody got an idea, of which might be the case ?
