Mismatch between COMPATIBLE Parameter and Oracle Version

SID3Feb 15 2012 — edited Feb 15 2012
Hi,

If the ORACLE version is say 11g but the compatible parameter in init.ora is say 9.2.0 or 8.1.7 what will be the effect on the database?

Will the database behave as like 11g or of the lower version?

If we alter the init.ora to the new version for compatible paremeter will it affect DB rebooting?

This is an interview question and i could not answer.

Please let me know the answers.
