You mentioned some problem with spfile/pfile, about migrating from 10g to 9i in 
another email. Is it the same spfile you are talking about?

The control_file entry in the pfile created from spfile looks like
 
?\oradata\MYDB\control01.ctl

Hi Deepak,
 
RE 1:  as a previous post just noted, in RAC configurations, the * is replaced 
by the instance number for the database.
 
RE 2:  the ? is ORACLE_HOME, not BASE
 
RE 3:  looks dodgy to me, what's the control_files entry in the new pfile that 
was just created from the spfile?

Hi All,
 
When I created a pfile from spfile the pfile has lines like the following....
 
*.background_dump_dest='?\admin\
 
I have a few doubts regarding that.
 
1> Why *. is there before each line.
 
2> Why the locations of the dumps as well as the control files have ?\ prefixed.
 
3> Even when i use sho parameter control_file it shows the ?
 
 
Please help me in understanding the above.
