Howard,

I'm wondering now then if you are setting the parameter in one of init.ora or 
spfile.ora, but starting the database using the other one? 

What does:

        show parameter spfile

give you back? Mine says "?/dbs/spfile@.ora" meaning 
"${ORACLE_HOME}/dbs/spfile${ORACLESID}.ora" If you get a null back, you are 
running on an init.ora file and not on the spfile. Mind you, you've probably 
already run:

        show parameter compatible

To see what Oracle thinks it's running with. 


Cheers,
Norm.
