Shooting yourself in the spfile

Shooting yourself in the spfile

I also heard, at a 10g presentation yesterday, that a lot of the new,
spiffy, automated tuning features require the exclusive use of the spfile.

Subject: RE: Shooting yourself in the spfile

I believe DataGuard requires spfiles. Like CBO, I believe its just a
matter of time before more and more new features require spfile.

IMHO, if I have to make a change to a database, I want to do it from
within the database not from the OS. We have a couple hundred
databases, to manually update pfiles takes forever and is error prone,
but running a bunch of ALTER DATABASE commands is quick/easy. YMMV.

Fix the illness, not the symptom:
stop using the spfile. Totally unnecessary
feature.
