In Oracle releases prior to Oracle9i, initialization parameters are specified in the INIT.ORA file. This file is usually named in the form INITsid.ORA, where sid is the SID, or system identifier, for your particular Oracle instance. The SID is a unique name used to identify a particular instance across your entire environment.
Refer to the Oracle documentation for the default location of this file for your particular operating system.
