Thanks (Merci :-) Michel,

I'm getting the following results :

SQL> select rpad(parameter,20), rpad(value,20) from v$nls_parameters;

RPAD(PARAMETER,20) RPAD(VALUE,20)

-------------------- --------------------
NLS_LANGUAGE         FRENCH
NLS_TERRITORY        FRANCE
NLS_CURRENCY         F
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY     FRANCE
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTE ,.
NLS_CALENDAR         GREGORIAN
NLS_DATE_FORMAT      YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:S
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE    FRENCH
NLS_CHARACTERSET     WE8ISO8859P1
NLS_SORT             FRENCH

NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERS WE8ISO8859P1 11 ligne(s) sÚlectionnÚe(s).

SQL> select rpad(name,20), rpad(value,20) from v$parameter where name like '%nls%';

RPAD(NAME,20) RPAD(VALUE,20)

-------------------- --------------------
nls_language         AMERICAN
nls_territory        AMERICA
nls_sort             _nul
nls_date_language    _nul
nls_date_format      _nul
nls_currency         _nul
nls_numeric_characte _nul
nls_iso_currency     _nul
nls_calendar         _nul

9 ligne(s) sÚlectionnÚe(s).

I guess this means that the database is US by default ( as shown in the v$parameter table) however the current session is using the french local as show in "v$nls_parameters". Is the this correct ?

I allways thought that v$nls_parameters was just a restriction of v$parameter... Looks like it's not. ..

Thanks
Alain.
