3 control files

edited Jul 4, 2012 10:36PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
I know that : 
Every Oracle database has a control file & A control file contains entries that specify the physical 

structure of the database, like the Database name, Names and locations of datafiles and redo log file

and so on...........,

I worked on a large database runs on oracle server 9.2.0.4 , I found three control files under my database folder which are :

CONTROL01.CTL
CONTROL02.CTL
CONTROL03.CTL

I want to ask why oracle created 3 control files & what are the difference between them



Howdy, Stranger!
