Anybody ever seen a init.ora file in an init.ora file that looks like



*.db_block_size=8192

*.db_cache_size=256M




etc?



I've never seen an asterisk and period at the beginning of a init.ora line before.



I know this is not a spfile, because 'alter system .... scope=spfile'
command get ORA-32001 errors.  



What is the significance of the asterisk and period?
