RE: How to set client's characterset on session level?

Dick,

I have already thoroughly RTFMed on this issue, but didn't find anything suitable using ALTER SESSION SET NLS_*

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
NLS_LAN consists of 3 parts: language, territory and characterset. Language and territory can be set/changed at session level as parameters NLS_LANGUAGE and NLS_TERRITORY respectively. But there is no alternative (at least I didn't find one) for characterset.

I can ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN. However, this does not change character encoding scheme.

Thanks,
Alex
