    Shutdown abort has the subtlety of a crowbar. It is a tool of last resort for me & I'm always afraid of the consequences you've got. Since your on a Unix variant, was any attempt made to find out what was slowing things up? Could you ID a process that was consuming a ton of CPU resources? We use 8.0.4 on HP-UX here and have not seen any unexplainable slowness in the system. Most of the time it's a particular end-user who has done the dirty on us by unleashing the "query from hell". In that case using a "kill -3" on his/her PID usually fixes the problem. You may also want to investigate using PROFILES in your DB. By setting the max amount of time per statement to 10 minutes has helped us in more ways than I care to think.

Hi All,

        Yesterday I faced the most awesome incident. One of the sites are running Oracle 8.0.4 on TRU64 UNIX 4.0 f . Just to come out of an "EXTREMELY" slow running Database, the Local DBA Shutdown Aborted the Database.

        After that the Database refused to come up !!! The trace file has following error reported :

Corrupt block relative dba: 0x00000001 file=0. blocknum=1. Completely zero block found during control file header read ORA-227 signalled during: alter database mount... Shutting down instance (abort)

        Realizing corruption of control file, I tried to create the control files. this also failed with following errors:

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01160: file is not data file
ORA 01110: data file: '/data4/oradata/BDCRL/bdcr01.dbf' 

        Can someone explain that why this shutdown abort
corrupted all the controlfiles and datafiles? Is it just the incompletion of checkpoint causing this corruption? Has anybody experienced this earlier? I am totally stumped :-((

Thanks for your time,
Rajesh
