RE: Db. Upgrade Assistant - any bad stories?

Only if you're not aware of it. I started editting init$ORACLE_SID.ora like crazy
and parameter changes would have no effect whatsoever. I thought for a moment that I've
enterd the twilight zone but then I resorted to the unthinkable: I read the documentation.
I know I shouldn't have done it, but, at least, I confess to doing that. After that,
I learned how to handle the SPFILE and I sort of like it.

Kirti,

Is it a bad thing?
