Question:
How can I see the controlfiles for my database? I do not know,
and I want to find the location of my control files. I want to
add a
controlfile, and I need to know which disks my controlfiles reside
upon.
Answer
: You can use this SQL*Plus commands to find the Oracle control file
locations:
SQL> show parameter control_files
or
SQL> database backup controlfile to trace
You can also use SQL*Plus scripts against the
v$parameter
and v$control_file.
For RAC, use the
gv$controlfile and
vg$parameter
views:
col value format a41
select
value
from
v$parameter
where
name = 'control_files';
select
name
from
v$controlfile;
select
rpad(substr(name,1,50),51,' ')
"control file name"
from
gv$controlfile;
