Mladen , you seem to be correct,
I checked the spfile and the parameters I try to modify exist there, but
reseting them takes one extra step
Say for example I find that undo_suppress_errors=false in the spfile.
Now if I try

SQL> alter system reset undo_suppress_errors scope=spfile sid='lahiri' ;
alter system reset undo_suppress_errors scope=spfile sid='lahiri'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32010: cannot find entry to delete in SPFILE

However the following works :

SQL> alter system set undo_suppress_errors =false scope=spfile sid='lahiri'
;


System altered.

SQL> alter system reset undo_suppress_errors  scope=spfile sid='lahiri' ;

System altered.

This problem is not present in 9.2.0.4 ?
Thanks for the help.
