Hi
Ankur,
The
NLS_LANG environment variable is used for configuring the Oracle database
products. If you mean that you want to set up your copy of Oracle for Russian,
you could use:
NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN_CIS.<charset>
where
<charset>== one of the following:
CHARACTERSET
CL8ISO8859P5
CHARACTERSET RU8PC866 CHARACTERSET RU8BESTA CHARACTERSET RU8PC855 CHARACTERSET CL8MACCYRILLIC CHARACTERSET CL8MACCYRILLICS CHARACTERSET
CL8MSWIN1251
CHARACTERSET
CL8KOI8R
You
might also want to consider being a bit forward looking and choosing the Unicode
character set:
NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN_CIS.UTF8 // Oracle 8x
NLS_LANG=RUSSIAN_CIS.AL32UTF8 // Oracle 9x
Note
that you need to install your database instance using a matching or compatible
encoding before your local setting will work correctly. The instance character
encoding is chosen at instance creation time and (more or less) cannot be
changed after that.
If you
really mean in your UNIX environment, the environment variable you mean is
"LANG" and you can use the "locale -a" function to find out what Russian locales
you have installed. You will need to set up your UNIX environment to display any
Russian characters that you retrieve from the database, so you'll probably end
up setting both (again, UTF-8 locales in UNIX work nicely with Unicode encoded
databases).
Hope
that helps.
Best
Regards,
Addison
