You have to restart your DB using the spfile, and read the docs. -----Original Message-----

I have started with pfile, by changing audit_trail=DB.  

startup pfile='file name'.
show parameter audit.
audit_trail=DB
create spfile='location' from pfile;
File created..!!  

but when see the spfile, *.audit_trail='OS';  

I was thinking that while you do the create spfile, it is creating a binary copy of pfile matching exactly with pfile.  

but this is something unexpected I am getting.

	You sure you are using the right (default) pfile on startup?
	
	do this;
	SQL> startup; [as you normaly would]
	SQL> show parameter audit 
	
	???
	
	Something got to be a miss on your end...or this would be a

scary (documented) bug?

	I have started my Database with pfile and now want to create
spfile. 
	 I am using create spfile='location' from pfile;
	 When I see the audit parameters in pfile, it is AUDIT_TRAIL=DB,
	but in SPFILE it is showing as AUDIT_TRAIL=OS, set previously
but changed
	now.
	same with few other parameters. 
	I changed my init file, bounce DB with pfile and now creating
spfile.
	 This is 9i with Solaris.
	 regards - chirag
