Control Files
All necessary database files and log files are identified in the control file. The name of the database is stored in the control file. A control file is required to mount, open, and access the database.
Synchronization information needed for recovery is stored inside the control file. The recommended configuration is a minimum of two control files on different disks. The parameter CONTROL_FILES identifies the control files.
