    If you did not use option startup pfile=..... to start your database,
    then Oracle looks for the pfile in the default location i.e.



    Win*: ORACLE_HOME\dat abase\init<SID> .ora

    nix*: ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora



    For 9i, if you have created an spfile "spfile<SID>.or a", then it would
    look for spfile first in the same locations according to OS.
