This parameter also establishes the default date format, the default decimal character and group separator, and the default ISO and local currency symbols.
For information on these settings, see "NLS_DATE_FORMAT", "NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS", "NLS_CURRENCY", and "NLS_ISO_CURRENCY".
Note:
The value of this initialization parameter NLS_TERRITORY
is used to initialize the session value of this parameter, which is the actual value referenced by the SQL query processing. This initial value is overridden by a client-side value if the client uses the Oracle JDBC driver or if the client is OCI-based and the NLS_LANG
client setting (environment variable) is defined. The initialization parameter value is, therefore, usually ignored.
Examples
For an example of overriding the default value for the NLS_TERRITORY
parameter, see Oracle Database Globalization Support Guide.
