I just installed the Oracle instant client on my laptop, and get this when I try to connect via ODBC in C#. The machine has had 9.2 and 10.2 installed in the past.
Why does this error appear? In my connection string, can I tell it to ignore the Oracle NLS settings?
The solution was to find the registry key named NLS_LANG under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
and rename it to anything else. I put an “x” at the end. This key is left over from a full install of Oracle. The instant client ODBC works properly now.
