init.ora and SPfile both contain information about DB parameters. The database cannot start without an INIT.ORA but can start without an SPfile. An SPfile cannot be edited directly , but one can be configured via the pfile (init.ora) Init.ora is saved in ascii text format whereas the SPfile is saved in a binary format. If both files exist , the database reads the SPfile first before processing the init.ora. Oracle Guru's step in and correct if necessary .......... :) , Lekarshi

What is difference between PFile and SPFile?

When an Oracle Instance is started, the characteristics of the Instance are established by parameters specified within the initialization parameter file. These initialization parameters are either stored in a PFILE or SPFILE. SPFILEs are available in Oracle 9i and above. All prior releases of Oracle are using PFILEs. SPFILEs provide the following advantages over PFILEs: * An SPFILE can be backed-up with RMAN (RMAN cannot backup PFILEs) * Reduce human errors. The SPFILE is maintained by the server. Parameters are checked before changes are accepted. * Eliminate configuration problems (no need to have a local PFILE if you want to start Oracle from a remote machine) * Easy to find - stored in a central location What is the difference between a PFILE and SPFILE:A PFILE is a static, client-side text file that must be updated with a standard text editor like "notepad" or "vi". This file normally reside on the server, however, you need a local copy if you want to start Oracle from a remote machine. DBA's commonly refer to this file as the INIT.ORA file. An SPFILE (Server Parameter File), on the other hand, is a persistent server-side binary file that can only be modified with the "ALTER SYSTEM SET" command. This means you no longer need a local copy of the pfile to start the database from a remote machine. Editing an SPFILE will corrupt it, and you will not be able to start your database anymore.
