ORA-12701 CREATE DATABASE character set is not known
Cause: | The character set specified in the CREATE DATABASE command does not exist on the system. | |

ORA-12702 invalid NLS parameter string used in SQL function
Cause: | An invalid parameter or value was entered in the NLS parameter string in a SQL function. | |

ORA-12703 this character set conversion is not supported
Cause: | An attempt was made to use the CONVERT function to convert between two character sets, and the requested conversion is not possible due to unavailability of one or both character sets. | |
Action: | Use character sets available on the system in the CONVERT function. | |
ORA-12705 invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
Cause: | There are two possible causes: Either an attempt was made to issue an ALTER SESSION statement with an invalid NLS parameter or value; or the NLS_LANG environment variable contains an invalid language, territory, or character set. | |
Action: | Check the syntax of the ALTER SESSION command and the NLS parameter, correct the syntax and retry the statement, or specify correct values in the NLS_LANG environment variable. | |
ORA-12706 this CREATE DATABASE character set is not allowed
Cause: | An attempt was made to create a database on an ASCII-based machine using an EBCDIC-based character set or vice versa. This is not permitted. | |
Action: | Create the database using either ASCII-based or EBCDIC-based character sets, depending on what is supported by the hardware. Refer to your Oracle7 operating system-specific documentation for more information about the type of character set supported. | |
