Hello,
My system (w2k) is all english except for the "Input Locales" (keyboard) wich is French Canadian, why the following date is in french??

SQL> select to_char(to_date('02-02-02'),'dd-mon-yy') from dual;

TO_CHAR(T



02-fév-02

As you can see the month is written fév instead of feb as would prefeer...

The thing is resolve if i use the ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE='AMERICAN', but i can't figure who to change it for a sqlloader session, is the only way is to set it via environement variable? I would like to change it permanetly, or at lest for on SCHEMA in particular, is it possible?

nls_calendar                         string
