Oracle SQL - set values for multiple parameters in the same alter_session_set_clause

Question

It's said in documentation that

You can set values for multiple parameters in the same alter_session_set_clause

but there are no examples how to do it.

I'm trying to make it work with a query:

alter session
 set nls_date_language = 'ENGLISH',  DDL_LOCK_TIMEOUT = 360;

Maybe there's no way to do it in 19c at all?

Answer 1

It is possible. You just need to use the space as a separator and not a comma(,)

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = 'ENGLISH' DDL_LOCK_TIMEOUT = 360;

Session altered.

Even Newline as a separator works fine.

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = 'ENGLISH'
  2    DDL_LOCK_TIMEOUT = 360;

Session altered.

I know that comma can be used as a separator as per the oracle documentation but It is not.
