Hi there
I have installed Oracle 9i on linux, the database is up and running but I can't find the init.ora for my db. Altough I do see other init's under /product/dbs where my init.DBNAME.ora is suposed to be,
what I see there is initdw.ora, spfileDBNAME.ora which it looks very simmilar to the old original init.ora, can someone please tell me if things have changed on 9i? from the old 7x 8x and 8i?
Thanks
Lena

You selected to create spfile when created your database. That's why you don't have init.ora file.
No worries. Create one:
SQL>create pfile='path/filename' from spfile='path/filename';
Then restart your database, by using this pfile:
SQL>connect / as sysdba
SQL>startup pfile='path/filename'
Hope that helps,
