hmm... interesting...
Do you mean IFILE parameter. I checked it on the instance started with binary spfile, but it's empty.
I RTFMed, but description is not clear for me. Here it is (from Oracle docs):



Use IFILE to embed another parameter file within the current parameter file. For example:

IFILE = COMMON.ORA You can have up to three levels of nesting. In this example, the file COMMON.ORA could contain a second IFILE parameter for the file COMMON2.ORA, which could contain a third IFILE parameter for the file GCPARMS.ORA. You can also include multiple parameter files in one parameter file by listing IFILE several times with different values:

IFILE = DBPARMS.ORA
IFILE = GCPARMS.ORA
IFILE =
LOGPARMS.ORA________________________________________________________________
_______Can someone clarify what that means?Works like include in C? :)Alexandre
