Select from language views (VL views) finds nothing…

Often when just installed a new tool, you will find that proven sql’s is not working. Reson for this can be your registry nls_lang is defaulted to the windows language.

Solution:

  • open regedit
  • find all occurences of “NLS_LAN”
  • update to “AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8″

 

This is with NLS_LANG = DANISH_DENMARK.UTF8:

DEV> select userenv('LANG') from dual;
DK  
Forløbet: 00:00:00.00
DEV>

This is with NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8:

DEV> select userenv('LANG') from dual;
US
DEV>
