Change NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS from ., to ,.

417843May 14 2009 — edited May 14 2009
Hello,

I want to change NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS value from *.,* to *,.*. I have followed below steps.

1. select * from nls_database_parameters where PARAMETER='NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';

PARAMETER VALUE
--------------------------------- --------------------
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,

1. alter system set nls_numeric_characters =',.' scope=spfile
2. Restart Database
3. select * from nls_database_parameters where PARAMETER='NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS';

PARAMETER VALUE
--------------------------------- --------------------
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS .,


Can someone please help to understand why NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS is not changed to updated value. In SPFile I can see *.nls_numeric_characters=',.'

Thanks,

Kishor
