I used "alter system set nls_sort = binary_ci scope = spfile" to
change the default value of the parameter nls_sort.Then I restarted
the service of the database instance.I saw the instance value has
changed.Now the problem is when I create a new connection the value of
nls_sort was not binary_ci but binary.I don't know why the session
value was not changed.

any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks a lot

Instance settings can be, and usually are, overridden by session
specific values.
Oracle always sends a series of alter session statements immediately
after logon.
Those can be changed by setting a registry string value in the correct
hive for Windows, or by setting an environment variable on Unix in
your .profile.
You can also use an execute immediate statement in an after logon
database trigger.
