Well, heck, I'm sure there's a lot more things that I should be ashamed =
of myself for not knowing than there is for you! :)
Actually, I'm surprised I remembered this since I first learnt about it = when I was running the 9i New Features for Administrators training when = that came out. I thought all the brain cells I had that were that old = died off under the influence of drunken Oak Table meetings (or is that a = tautology?) :)

Well, if you go back to my original note, you'll find that I *did* have a current init.ora file to fall back on. After I screwed up my spfile, I restarted the instance using my init.ora file.
What I'm ashamed of is not knowing that I could have issued a CREATE PFILE command with my instance sitting idle. That important fact has somehow eluded me until now.
