How can you find out what character set a database is currently using. We've a database created with a character set WE8IS08859P1 but how could i find this out if i didn't know. Where using Oracle 8i on Unix (Sun Solaris 8).
Thanks.

Hello,
The following views will help:
v$nls_parameters

Hope this helps!

You can use V$Parameter views. But, there are 2 more methods to find out.
1. See the NLS_LANG parameter set in your system.
2. If you don't have rights to see them, then connect with sql*plus prompt and then give
@%nls_lang%
