Did you search before posting ?

Default behaviour of parameter file

Instance startup with SPFILE (default) if spfile not found then
instance startup with pfile (init<sid>.ora) if pfile not found then
we can startup our instance through text pfile.

Start your database by pfile and execute the above query. and note it down , again start your database by spfile and execute the query. If it is not work in your database then tell.
