Parameter sga_target does not show the comment, while parameter pga_aggregate_target does show the comment. That is with version 10.2.0.3.0. I haven't checked to see if that is fixed in later versions. <code>SQL>select name, value, update_comment from v$parameter where name in ('pga_aggregate_target','sga_target'); NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE_COMMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sga_target 1073741824 pga_aggregate_target 1073741824 Andrew Fraser 13-May-2010 was 390m</code> Hi Coskan,

I tried it but it did not update the update_comment column of v$parameter v$system_parameter tables. Tried to convert spfile to pfile to see if it updates the init file no luck. The only way that I can see the comment was on alert log. Do you have the same behaviour (10.2.0.4 is the DB I tried it on) Andrew,

Do you have the same behaviour (10.2.0.4 is the DB I tried it on)
