Oracle: V$PARAMETER

List the name value pairs of the init file or the server parameter file (SPFILE).
Hidden and undocumented, so called underscore parameters, are not shown in v$parameter. These can be queried by joining sys.x$ksppi with sys.x$ksppcv and sys.ksppsv.

Some interesting columns

The columns isses_modifiable and issys_modifiable can be used to determine if a parameter can be changed at session level using alter session or at system level using alter system.
A parameter is modifiable at session level if isses_modifiable = 'TRUE'.
A parameter is modifiable at system level if issys_modifiable = 'DEFERRED' or issys_modifiable = 'IMMEDIATE'.
However, if a parameter is changed at system level if issys_modifiable = 'DEFERRED' it only affects sessions that are started after changing the parameter. Additionally, the alter system set … deferred option must be used.

Select from v$parameter
