Whats a catch-42, a catch-22 that's 20 years old?
now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Ah, the chicken or the egg...
Control files are identified by the parameter (spfile/init.ora) file. If
you kept the parameters in the control file, how would the database know
which control files to read? And if a control file was lost? How would
you edit the control file to change the parameter to point to a
different control file?
Sounds like a catch-42.

All this spfile/pfile rigmarole is just an unnecessary
and unwarranted complication. But it's great to generate
revenue out of OCP training...
