Hello Experts,

I have a database started using pfile and spfile parameter shows NULL from command prompt as below:

******************************************************************
Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options

SQL> show parameter spfile

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
spfile string
SQL>
*****************************************************************

Now when I want to change/switch database to start using SPFILE, can I do it with out restarting (shutdown and startup)the database.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Shamsh Pervaiz

Parameter file is read at startup.
You cannot start without first shutting down.
So the answer to the question is...
