Thanks for the response Waldemar.  Actually, the reason I do the ALTER SESSION is so 
that TO_CHAR formats correctly using the 'G' and 'D' format mask characters.  So, if I 
have a statement like

SELECT some_number, TO_CHAR(some_number, '999G999G999D999') FROM some_table

I'm screwed because while the TO_CHAR format's correctly, the raw number (i.e. the 1st 
column in the select list) comes back with commas in it.

Any other suggestions ?

Steve

Have You tried:

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '. '

after setting NLS_TERRITORY to 'Germany'?
