New SPFILE parameters in Oracle Database 12.2.0.1

This is the 1st posting in my series about init.ora/SPFILE parameters in Oracle Database 12.2.0.1.

Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 is available now in the Oracle Cloud.

And this is the list of 46 new init.ora/spfile parameters compared to Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 – including the links (where possible) to the Oracle Database 12.2 Reference documentation.
