DatabaseNCharset

This property sets the NCHAR database character set at the process level and is used to optimize connection establishment.

Declaration

// C#
public static OracleDatabaseNCharset DatabaseNCharset {set;}

Remarks

The default value is OracleDatabaseNCharset.AL16UTF16.

When the application provides the actual NCHAR database character set to connect with, the connection can be established in an optimized way with fewer roundtrips. If the property contains a non-matching character set value, connection establishment follows a traditional, less optimized process.
