Hello All,

Recently I upgraded a 8.1.7 32 bit db to 9.0.1 64 bit. Upgrade went smoothly and app is functioning fine.

However I still continue to use my init.ora files. Where does spfile come in the picture ? I do not have it right now. I am misiing something . Can some help? Do i need to create my spfile once I upgraded the DB ? Will my init files continue to work ?

Also I hear BMC datatools sql backtrack does not support spfile yet. Is it true ? Has anyone tried to use this product ?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thx in advance
