What is the use of spfile and init.ora in oracle?

In: Computer Databases

init.ora and SPfile both contain information about DB parameters.

The database cannot start without an INIT.ORA but can start without an SPfile.

An SPfile cannot be edited directly , but one can be configured via the pfile (init.ora)

Init.ora is saved in ascii text format whereas the SPfile is saved in a binary format.

If both files exist , the database reads the SPfile first before processing the init.ora.
