Sure, but suppose I call in sick due to weltschmerz or ennui the next day, and my colleague wants to know which pfile I used to startup the database the day before? e.g. we have different pfiles we employ depending on the type of tasks for which the database will be used.

Sure, but suppose I call in sick due to weltschmerz = or ennui the next day, and my colleague wants to know which pfile I = used to startup the database the day before? e.g. we have different = pfiles we employ  depending on the type of tasks for which the = database will be used. The only method I know is to view the parameters = and compare them to the various pfiles (assuming none of the parameters = have been changed since the database was restarted).
