java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-12705

I am trying to retrieve a column in Oracle. However, I encounter the below error:

 

-> java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified

 

Using the default connection string and driver used: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

 

Thank you.

  • Hey rootaren,

    Does this occur for every query? Im guessing it does (its a problem due to a conflict with regional/language settings), but if you execute:

    SELECT sysdate FROM dual;

    Do you still get the NLS error response?

    Is oracle installed on your local machine or is it remote?

    The following stackoverflow indicates how to fix your issue.

      Hi richie ,

       

      This happens in every query. I did the suggestion from stackoverflow --- changing the regional settings, both country and format.

       

      Thank you!
