RE: V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER vs V$PARAMETER

In their scope...
View v$parameter shows current settings for a session.  

View v$system_parameter shows system wide parameter settings.  

See below:
SQL> select name, value from v$system_parameter where name like 'timed_stat%';

NAME VALUE

• --------------------

timed_statistics TRUE

SQL> alter session set timed_statistics = false;

Session altered.

SQL> select name, value from v$system_parameter where name like 'timed_stat%';

NAME VALUE

• --------------------

timed_statistics TRUE

SQL> c/system_//

1* select name, value from v$parameter where name like 'timed_stat%'

SQL> / NAME VALUE

• --------------------

timed_statistics FALSE

SQL>   HTH,

Hi,  

Where these two, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER, V$PARAMETER dynamic view are differs?  

Both of them looks the same in structure and data as well.  

Anybody have any idea.  

Nirmal.
