Issue with NLS_LANG parameter - Finnish

Nagaraju POct 23 2014 — edited Nov 3 2014

Hi,

I want to insert some FINNISH language data into one of my tables. After insertion the data is displaying as some junk values. I am trying to reset my NLS_LANG parameter as to reflect FINLAND_FINNISH.<Char set>. But i am unable to perform this chagne.

My current database is showing below output

SQL> SELECT USERENV('language') FROM DUAL;

USERENV('LANGUAGE')
----------------------------------------------------
AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P15

I wnat to chagne the above to reflect Finnish data. How can i do it? i tried below statement but failed

SQL> Alter session set NLS_LANG="FINNISH_FINLAND.WE8ISO8859P15";

Alter session set NLS_LANG="FINNISH_FINLAND.WE8ISO8859P15"

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-00922: missing or invalid option

Could someone please shed some light on this issue.

Database version : 10.2.0.5

OS : HP UX

The insert query  what i am firing is :

insert into test values ('İçerenköy Mah. Askent sok., Ataşehir, P.O Box 321, Wärtsilä Finland Oy, 65101 Vaasa, FINLAND','İçerenköy Mah. Askent sok., Ataşehir, P.O Box 321, Wärtsilä Finland Oy, 65101 Vaasa, FINLAND');

And the output i am getting is

SQL> select * from test;

ADDRESS1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDRESS2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.gerenkvy Mah. Askent sok., Ata.ehir, P.O Box 321, Wdrtsild Finland Oy, 65101 Va
