    There are other ways to check.

    Code:
    SQL> desc nls_database_parameters
    Name                                    Null?    Type
    --------------------------------------- -------- -------------
    PARAMETER                               NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
    VALUE                                            VARCHAR2(40)
    How do I find which settings I currently have for NLS features?

    NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS - defaults set up for the database at creation

    NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS - parameters set by NLS_LANG or alter session (does not include client character set)

    NLS_INSTANCE_PARAMETERS - parameters set in init.ora

    V$NLS_PARAMETERS - values of NLS parameters for current values

    V$NLS_VALID_VALUES - values which can be used for CHARACTERSET, LANGUAGE, TERRITORY, SORT (dependent on what was loaded at install time)
