Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

How does sqlplus in 19c RAC find the spfile?

Jan 19, 2025 9:10AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered

In 11g RAC, the init.ora file points the spfile in ASM, so sqlplus can find it.

but in 19c, sqlplus can startup even without the spfile nor init.ora,

how does that happen?

(I understand when I startup with svrctl , it will create a init.ora automatically)

Thank you.
