Hi all, I'm looking for character sets and collation with Oracle.
About character set from the shell I have:

$ locale character
utf-8

and

$ echo $NLS_LANG
AL32UTF8

Now I'm also looking for collation, ie the comparaison between strings
and I've found other two environment variables: NLS_COMP and NLS_SORT,
but I don't understand how to set them permanently (if it's possible).
If I use an alter session statement to set NLS_SORT and NLS_COMP the
change is conscripted to a single user session. So, exists a way to
set the two paramethers permanently?

Thanks, Simone Saravalli
