Hi

I always have my init files in the OFA locations so I'm guessing here.
Isn't the startup command listed in the alertlog if  you use the pfile
command?
Sounds like a good one to be in there.

Well the best way. If you are using a UNIX box. go to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin
and view the file dbstart. Here you will find the locaton of you
initSID.ora file.  This is only true if you use the dbstart for starting
your database or you use the /etc/oratab file to startup the database at
boot up.

This will not give you solution. As backup of controlfile to trace will not
give initSID.ora file path.

Actually as per my knowledge there is no table which gives path of
initSID.ora file. What you can do is find all init parameter files in your
system. Then check SID part of your filename. If you have any doubt then
also count SGA of each initSID.ora and your database SGA.

This is not 100 percent correct and also seems to be some what tedious but
you can try this for your database.

Jaimin.

Can't you do it indirectly with an 'alter database backup controlfile to
trace' command?  I seem to recall that there's a path to the initSID.ora
file there.  'Course, it could be just the generic path...I never tried
changing it to see...

HTH,
Mike

Seema,
There is no way to find that out.
Unless, the init.ora uses ifile option and the file pointed to by ifile
contains all the parameters. In that case you can query v$parameter view to
see what ifile points to.
By default Oracle looks for it in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory.
