- Where is the SPFILE for a PDB database ?
PDBs do not have an init.ora file or SPFILE, only the root‘s CDB has one. Parameters for the PDBs are stored in the DB‘s dictionary, in the PDB_SPFILE$ table.
- I‘m querying the PDB‘s PDB_SPFILE$ table and it is empty, why ?
This is expected, all the information about the modified parameters for a PDB are stored in the PDB_SPFILE$ table in the ROOT CDB.
The only time when parameters are copied into the PDB‘s own pdb_spfile$ table is during PDB UNPLUG, and this is done as a fallback in case the XML is lost.
Once the PDB plug back into another CDB the PDB‘s PDB_SPFILE$ table is truncated.Where is the SPFILE for a PDB database ?
