Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Shooting yourself in the spfile
I should have known that Mladen would catch me on that one...
Yes, ALTER SYSTEM.
But I can still ALTER SYSTEM a hundred databases faster then you can VI their pfiles.

Alter database? Chris, I have bad news for you: "alter database" will modify
your database, while "alter system" can be used to modify your spfile. What
do you want to modify? Where do you want to go today?
