I issued the following command:
ALTER SYSTEM SET SGA_TARGET=64M SCOPE=SPFILE
Then I *attempted* to bounce my instance. Upon restart, I
received a message telling me that my sga_target needed to
be at least 184MB. Well! My first reaction was to wonder why
the silly software let me set such a low value in the first
place. Clearly, this is a case of the right-hand not knowing
what the left-hand is doing.
I couldn't even start the instance in NOMOUNT mode. Thus, I
was unable to issue any further ALTER SYSTEM commands,
leaving me with a bad value in my spfile and no way to fix
it. So far as I know, I had no choice but to fall back on my
init.ora file.
