Title: Chapter 15: Database Globalization
Course: DEPT MC - ORACLE DATABASE MANAGEMENT II > Section: Unit 3 - Database Administration II

The Oracle database has many capabilities grouped under the term globalization that will assist a DBA who must consider users of different nationalities. Globalization was known as National Language Support, or NLS, in earlier releases (you will still see the NLS acronym in several views and parameters), but globalization is more than linguistics: it is a comprehensive set of facilities for managing databases that must cover a wide range of languages, time zones, and cultural variations.
