-- parm_mods.sql

-- Shows all parameters (including hidden) that have been modified. 
-- Uses the lag function so that a single record is returned for each change.
-- It uses AWR data - so only snapshots still in the database will be included.
--
-- The script prompts for a parameter name (which can be wild carded).
-- Leaving the parameter name blank matches any parameter (i.e. it will show all changes).
-- Calculated hidden parameters (those that start with two underscores like "__shared_pool_size") 
-- will not be displayed unless requested with a Y.
