Re: When you start an Oracle DB which file is accessed first?
Correction from previous post:
the directory is Oracle_Home\database and not Oracle_Home\dbs the first file which is accessed when an Oracle DB is opened is in the following order 1.firstly the spfile which is located in Oracle_Home\database directory. 2.secondly the pfile which is located in Oracle_Home\database directory. 3.If none of the two file exists then the oracle instance will not startup. 4.if you do not want oracle to use the spfile or pfile which is located in Oracle_Home\dbs directory then you can explicitly startup the instance using the pfile created manually using the following command. startup pfile='..\initinstancename.ora' |

Re: When you start an Oracle DB which file is accessed first?
ans- when you start an oracle db server parameter file (spfile) is accessed first and in case if doesn't exist the parameter file (pfile) is accessed. -regards dharmendra jaiswal (9987926154)
