Oracle

By default, Valuemation runs on all Oracle editions:

• Oracle Enterprise Edition
• Oracle Standard Edition
• Oracle Standard Edition One

Note: The use of the 'Express' version is not recommended.

Notes on the 'language options' in Oracle

The Valuemation mechanism for scrolling back and forward assumes that the comparison and sorting sequences are synchronized. In the default Oracle database settings, comparisons are binary and sorting is done in the local language of the operating system. Synchronization is defined in the Valuemation properties on an Oracle session level (NLS_COMP, NLS_SORT).

We recommend that both parameters be set to binary for the configuration (NLS_COMP=BINARY, NLS_SORT=BINARY). This configuration is delivered in the default version.

If sorting is to be done in the local language, both parameters must be set to the local language (NLS_COMP=LINGUISTIC, NLS_SORT=).

Note on UTF-8 (required since Valuemation v.5.0)

Please note that the Oracle database option MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED is not supported!
