  1. This returns the sort and comparison settings of the oracle db. Should be the same (BINARY)

    SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters WHERE parameter IN ('NLS_COMP', 'NLS_SORT');
 
SELECT * FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE parameter IN ('NLS_COMP', 'NLS_SORT');
 
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','NLS_SORT') nls_sort FROM DUAL;

  2. Returns the collation of the database, Expected value is `AL32UTF8`

    SELECT * FROM nls_session_parameters WHERE PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
 
SELECT * FROM nls_database_parameters WHERE PARAMETER='NLS_CHARACTERSET';
