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.
