Re: ORA-12075 Invalid/Unknown NLS parameter

 Message from: Peter van RijnTools you should
find SQL Monitor or SQL Tracker. Start this up AFTER toad is running but
BEFORE selecting a database to connect to.

In the list of running applications in SQL Monitor, select Toad, and
click the button to start monitoring.

In Toad, attempt to connect to the  database in question.

Watch SQL Monitor's output. When it appears to have stopped, Save the
output to a file BEFORE you stop monitoring Toad. (I think at 9.7
stopping monitoring clears the output!).

Turn off monitoring of Toad.


Now, you can have a look at the monitor output, safely saved in a file,
to see if you can find the problem, or past the output into an email
(some attachments don't get transmitted) and send it here.

I've just run it with Toad 10.6GA, an Oracle 10g client and an Oracle
10.2.0.1 database, and at no point can I see Toad attempting to set NLS
parameters, lots of reading of them though.


Good luck.

Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]

Hello.  I'm not sure if this is really a TOAD issue, but I've tried other sources without success.
A colleague is trying to install TOAD (9.7) onto a virgin PC.
He gets the Connect screen up, it finds the correct TNSnames.ora file, but when he tries to connect to a database, the above error is shown.

There's nothing obvious in the toad.ini file, can anyone offer some advice?
Thanks!
Jason
