Introduction

This appendix summarizes the main multilingual features for Oracle Text.

For a complete list of Oracle Globalization Support languages and character set support, refer to the Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide.

Note:

Oracle Text does not support the NLS_COMP and NLS_SORT parameters. Search results generated from Oracle Text are independent from values of those parameters.

In Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2), an Oracle Text index cannot be created on a column with a declared collation other than BINARY, USING_NLS_COMP, USING_NLS_SORT or USING_NLS_SORT_CS. For all the supported collations, the Oracle Text behavior is the same.
