    The control file contains information like the latest system change number (SCN), locations and sizes of datafiles and redo log files, database creation date and timestamp, and controlfile parameters. The server parameter file (spfile) is a binary file that allows for more efficient changing of parameters compared to a text-based parameter file (pfile). An initialization parameter file (ifile) can help the database locate parameters when the pfile or spfile are missing or located elsewhere. If the pfile or spfile are lost, parameters can be recovered from the alert log. During startup, Oracle will use the spfile over the pfile if both files are present. Hidden parameters are only used on recommendation from Oracle support and can sometimes

    36. What information control file contains?

    a. It contains latest SCN, all locations and sizes of datafiles and redolog files, database creation date and
    timestamp and controlfile parameters.
    37. What is server parameter file and how it is different from parameter file?
    a. Spfile is a binary file and it helps in changing parameters efficiently than a pfile.
    38. What is Ifile and when it is used?
    a. Ifile is a index file which can help database when pfile or spfile are not in default location.
    39. How to recover if I lost parameter pfile or spfile?
    a. We can recover from alert log file which contains non-default parameters.
    40. If we have both pfile and spfile in place, which file oracle will use during startup?
    a. Spfile.
    41. What are hidden parameters and their use?
    a. Hidden parameters are to be used only on recommendation of oracle support and sometimes they help us
    in providing work around to any serious problem in the database.
