I will have to refresh my memory but I am certain that one remains in
the state it was when the database was created and the other changes
based on init.ora settings

Hi, 
 
O/S is HP-UX
 
 
1)select * from nls_database_parameters; 
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS CHAR 
 
2)select * from V$nls_parameters; 
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS BYTE 
 
3)In init.ora it is 
nls_length_semantics = BYTE 
 
 
ours is 10.2.0.2 
 
 
why is this difference? 
 
 
Regards, 
Edwin.K
