Re: How to make SPFILE in sync with INIT.ORA ?

I don't appreciate spfile's much either, except in some cases of test instances, wheres quite easy to type alter system command followed by startup force to test effects of some parameters... But it all can be done old fashioned way as well.

In RAC env I still use normal old-fashioned pfile (where settings for all instances are located) and a small script which is able to copy the init.ora to all instances appropriate directories. Btw, in production environment one shouldn't continuously (manually) modify init.ora parameters anyway, especially in 9i, where even SGA sizing parameters are dynamic..

Tanel.
