You can view the character set of an Oracle database by following these steps:

  1. Login to the operating system of the database server.
  2. Open the command prompt or terminal window.
  3. Connect to the database using the username and password specified in the command.
  4. Retrieve all the data from the nls_database_parameters table where the parameter is ‘NLS_CHARACTERSET’.

Additionally, graphical tools such as Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) or SQL Developer can be used to view the character set of the database.
