Which values of NLS_SORT gives case-insensitive behaviour of REGEXP-functions

edited Nov 9, 2014 10:00AM in SQL Language (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hello

The documentation for regexp functions describe that the default behaviour of case-sensitivity is dependent on NLS_SORT. However, it does not describe which values of NLS_SORT gives case-insensitive results.

BINARY searches case sensitive, byt DANISH does not.

Where can I find out the exact correlation between NLS_SORT and case sensitivity?

Can anyone explain why case-insensitive is a reasonable default? It seems odd to me.
