Point it : using a spfile does some basic validation. It does not validate *everything*, and I did not claim that.

Some validation is still better than no validation. Things don't have to be perfect to be valuable. Not for me, at least.

You seem to be quite frustrated that more average technicians buy the stuff from Oracle Marketing, thus praising the spfile to be cutting-edge technology. Then you are going to be frustrated a long time still, with things like workspaces, assm, bitmap join indexes etc...and more to come......

Just substract 80% of the stuff from Marketing and that's it.
