ORA_NLS Package

Description

The ORA_NLS package enables you to extract high-level information about your current language environment. This information can be used to inspect attributes of the language, enabling you to customize your applications to use local date and number format. Information about character set collation and the character set in general can also be obtained.

Facilities are also provided for retrieving the name of the current language and character set, allowing you to create applications that test for and take advantage of special cases.
