File created.

and then edit '/tmp/init.ora'. You can still startup the database by using "startup pfile=/tmp/init.ora' command. What's the big deal?

Arup Bhai/Mladen,
these are the lines i read from oracle docs.
"Caution: Although you can open the binary server parameter file with a text editor and view its text, do not manually edit it. Doing so will corrupt the file. You will not be able to start your instance, and if the instance is running, it could fail."
As you said,opening spfile is not a problem...but editing IS.
Thanx to you both.
