Column NUM NAME TYPE Description Parameter number Name of the parameter Parameter type: 1 - Boolean 2 - String 3 - Integer 4 - Parameter file 5 - Reserved 6 - Big integer VALUE VARCHAR2(512) Parameter value for the session (if modi fied within the session); otherwise, the instance-wide parameter value DISPLAY_VALUE VARCHAR2(512) Parameter value in a user-friendly forma t. For example, if the VALUE column shows the value 262144 for a big integer par ameter, then the DISPLAY_VALUE column will show the value 256K. ISDEFAULT VARCHAR2(9) Indicates whether the parameter is set t o the default value (TRUE) or the parameter value was specified in the parameter file (FALSE) ISSES_MODIFIABLE VARCHAR2(5) Indicates whether the parameter can be c hanged with ALTER SESSION (TRUE) or not (FALSE) ISSYS_MODIFIABLE VARCHAR2(9) Indicates whether the parameter can be c hanged with ALTER SYSTEM and when the change takes effect: IMMEDIATE - Parameter can be chan ged with ALTER SYSTEM regardless of the type of parameter file used to start the instanc e. The change takes effect immediately. DEFERRED - Parameter can be chang ed with ALTER SYSTEM regardless of the type of parameter file used Datatype NUMBER VARCHAR2(80) NUMBER

The change takes effect i n subsequent instances. ISINSTANCE_MODIFIABLE VARCHAR2(5) For parameters that can be changed with ALTER SYSTEm, indicates whether the value of the parameter can be different for every instance (TRUE) or wh ether the parameter must have the same value for all Real Application Clusters i nstances (FALSE). If the ISSYS_MODIFIABLE column is FALSE, then this column is always FALS E. ISMODIFIED VARCHAR2(10) Indicates whether the parameter has been modified after instance startup: M ODIFIED - Parameter has been modified with ALTER SESSION S YSTEM_MOD - Parameter has been modified with ALTER SYSTEM (which causes all the currently logged in sessions' values to be modi fied) F ALSE - Parameter has not been modified after instance startup ISADJUSTED VARCHAR2(5) Indicates whether Oracle adjusted the in put value to a more suitable value (for example, the parameter value should be prime, but the user input a non-prime number, so Oracle adjusted the value to the n ext prime number) ISDEPRECATED VARCHAR2(5) Indicates whether the parameter has been deprecated (TRUE) or not (FALSE) DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(255) Description of the parameter UPDATE_COMMENT VARCHAR2(255) Comments associated with the most recent update HASH NUMBER Hash value for the parameter name ================================================================================ ================================================================================ ====== select name,type,value ,display_value,isdefault,isses_modifiable,issys_modifiabl e,isinstance_modifiable from v$parameter where name like '%sga%' / NAME TYPE VALUE DISPLAY_VALUE ISDEFA ULT ISSES ISSYS_MOD ISINS -------------------- ---------- -------------------- -------------------- -------- ----- --------sga_max_size 6 293601280 280M TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE pre_page_sga 1 FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE lock_sga 1 FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE sga_target 6 293601280 280M FALSE FALSE IMMEDIATE TRUE ================================================================================ ================================================================================

Parameter class Dynamic: ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM Note: This parameter is valid only if you have installed Oracle Enterprise Edition. Yo u may continue to use LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST if you have installed Oracle Enterprise E dition. However, you cannot use both LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n and LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST, as they are not compatible.

The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters (where n = 1, 2, 3, ... 10) define up to ten a rchive log destinations. The parameter integer suffix is defined as the handle displayed by the V$ARCHIVE_DEST dynamic performance view. Values: SERVICE Specifies a standby destination. Oracle Net (IPC or TCP) transmits the archivelo g. A standby instance must be associated with the destination. The value represented by tnsnames_service corresponds to an appropriate service name in tnsnames.ora. LOCATION Specifies a local file system destination. You must specify this parameter for a t least one destination. MANDATORY Specifies that archiving to the destination must succeed before the redo log fil e can be made available for reuse. OPTIONAL Specifies that successful archiving to the destination is not required before th e redo log file can be made available for reuse. If the "must succeed count," set with LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DES T, is met, the redo logfile is marked for reuse. This is the default. REOPEN Specifies the minimum number of seconds before the archiver process (ARCn, foreg round, or log writer process) should try again to access a previously failed destination. Future attempts are made when the next redo log file is arch ived. If a destination is MANDATORY, Oracle Corporation recommends that you specify a REOPEN time that reduces the possibility of primary database shutdown due to lack of available online redo log files. If you do not specify seconds, the default value is 300 seconds. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ ======= Parameter type String Syntax LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n = {alternate | reset | defer | enable} Default value enable Parameter class Dynamic: ALTER SESSION, ALTER SYSTEM

The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameters (wheren = 1, 2, 3, ... 10) specify the a vailability state of the corresponding destination. The parameter suffix (1 through 10) specifies one of the ten corresponding LOG_A RCHIVE_DEST_n destination parameters. Values: enabled Specifies that a valid log archive destination can be used for a subsequent arch iving operation (automatic or manual). This is the default. defer Specifies that valid destination information and attributes are preserved, but t he destination is excluded from archiving operations until re-enabled. alternate Specifies that a log archive destination is not enabled but will become enabled if communications to another destination fail. The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameters have no effect on the ENABLE state for t he LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST parameters. The V$ARCHIVE_DEST dynamic performance view shows values in use for the current session. The DEST_ID column of that view corresponds to the archive destination suffix n. ================================================================================ ================================================================================ =====
