CONTROL_FILES初始化参数用于指定数据库中控制文件的位置和名称。当创建数据库时，会依据此参数创建控制文件。可以通过查询SQL*Plus中的参数或使用v$Controlfile动态性能视图来查看控制文件的详细信息。

CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter.

To understand about CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter we first need to understand what initialization parameters are.

Initialization Parameters

To manage the Oracle instances, the Oracle Universal installer configures parameters that can affect the basic operations of the instance. These parameters are called Initialization parameters.

Initialization parameters are stored in parameter files famously known as SPFILE or PFILE. On startup, Oracle instance reads initialization parameters from these.

CONTROL_FILES initialization parameters

CONTROL_FILES initialization Parameter specifies one or more control file names along with their location in the database.

Whenever we execute CREATE DATABASE statement, all the control files listed in this CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter get created.

What is the location of Oracle Control file

We can find out the name and location of the control file using the said initialization parameter

v$Controlfile View

The second way of finding out the name and the location of the control file in Oracle is by using v$controlfile dynamic performance view.

[oracle@oracle-db-19c ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

These are the two most common ways to find the name and location of the control files in the Oracle Database.
