Need some help to resolve this error message....
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

How can I resolve this error?
I am attempting a connection between Oracle 10g XE and SQL-Developer.
Details are as follows:

12705, 00000, "Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified"
// *Cause: Either an attempt was made to issue an ALTER SESSION command
// with an invalid NLS parameter or value; or the environment
// variable(s) NLS_LANG, ORA_NLSxx, or ORACLE_HOME was incorrectly
// specified, therefore the NLS data files cannot be located.
// *Action: Check the syntax of the ALTER SESSION command and the NLS
// parameter, correct the syntax and retry the statement, or
// specify the correct directory path/values in the environment
// variables.
Where just attempting to connect, or were you running SQL? -
Just attempting to make a connection....
Not running any SQL commands on the db. -
NLS Lang version mismatch at the time of installation Oracle 10g XE and SQL-Developer
-
NLS Lang version mismatch at the time of installation.......what?
Oracle 10g XE and SQL-Developer
Please explain what you mean, since both have been installed concurrently, and you don't run an exe for the SQL-Developer installation just an zip extraction into a folder.
Thanks -
Are you able to connect from Sql*Plus ?
-
check language installed on 10g
for checking enter following sql
select userenv('LANGUAGE') from dual; -
Thanks all.
Got it to work by uninstalling XE, deleting all reference to ORACLE in windows registry and doing a complete re-installation of XE. -
The problem occurs when you had a previous install of Oracle.
To solve the issue, clean up windows regisrty entries for Oracle. -
you can solve this problem changing your regional configuration under windows as same as your oracle installation, probably (English) United States.
