Usually the parameter that I want to change is something that can't be
changed via ALTER SYSTEM.  Very rarely do I get lucky and edit the spfile
such that the checksum is still valid.  The only way that I know of to
always be able to alter the parameter in spfile is to create a pfile from
the spfile, edit the pfile, restart the database from the pfile and create
an spfile from the pfile.

HUGE pain.  Not a fan of spfile at all.  Only use it when management
insists.
