Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

11.2.0.4 : nls_database_parameters

Hi,

We created a empty database with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = BYTE. Due to a requirement , we need to change the value to CHAR. I executed

alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR scope = both; and after that database has been bounced.

However, after bounce I can see the following

select * from nls_database_parameters order by parameter; ß results in NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = BYTE

select * from nls_instance_parameters order by parameter; ß results in NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR

select * from nls_session_parameters order by parameter; ß results in NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR

How do I reflect this change in nls_database_parameters?
