How to nd the Character set of the Oracle database.

Posted on February 14, 2012 by deveshdba

The database character set in oracle determines the set of characters can be stored in the database. It is also used to determine the character set to
be used for object identi ers and PL/SQL variables and for storing PL/SQL program source.
The database character set information is stored in the data dictionary tables named SYS.PROPS$.
You can get the character set used in the database by SYS.PROPS$ table or any other views (like database_properties/ nls_database_parameters)
exist in the database. The parameter NLS_CHARACTERSET value contains the database character set name.
As show parameter does not tell you your database char set, Here Im listing some commands to nd the database character set:

SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters

2

where parameter='NLS_CHARACTERSET';

------------------------------ ---------------------------------------NLS_CHARACTERSET

SQL> SELECT value$ FROM sys.props$ WHERE name = 'NLS_CHARACTERSET' ;
