@anandhi

Which OS?
IN case of windows, you can use windows services & their respective registry settings for this purpose. & also, yes, oradim is one of the options, but it again start/stop the windows service only.

@JS

There's no oradim in unix.

LOL, It was a while ago that I made th post, but I reckon I probably stated ORADIM specifically because the OS was not mentioned. It's like when someone asks a SQL question, (If I ever get to answer in time) I tend to point to the most recent SQL version (using analytics for eg) when the OP (invariably) posts back that he / she gets an error, it lets you point out that that is the reason why posting version is so important. It's a bit anal but hey Wink

never mind.

Hi

Shutdown/Startup in UNIX

1. Login to the Server using the oracle user.i.e. The unix dba user used to install the database.

2. Check the environment variables for Oracle Database of the user is set or not by issueing commmand:

$ env

Note: Look for ORACLE_HOME variable.

If Oracle Server variable are not set than set them by executing the <SID>_<HOST_NAME>.env file present in Oracle Home directory.

3. Login to the database as sysdba:

$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

4. Startup or shutdown as below

SQL> shutdown immediate

SQL> startup open

5. To bring down listener use the command from prompt:

$ lsnrctl stop <SID>

Shutdown/Startup in Windows

1. Login to the Windows System using the DBA user.

2. Open command prompt and use the following commands:

C:\> sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

sql> shutdown immediate

sql> startup open

3. To stop listener use the command from command prompt:

C:\> lsnrctl stop <sid>

Hope this might be helpful for you.

Thanks and Regards

Oh Dear!!!

LOL!!! I missed the actual meaning of the question.

Anyway, as far as I know, the database can be brought down in Windows by simply shutting/restarting the Windows. It will automatically stop all services.

Or, if you know the Service name from Windows Services, then bring down the services using the command line:

C:\>net stop <service-name>

In Unix,
I feel there is no way other than killing the connection processes first (identified by 'grep' ing the LOCAL=NO processess) and then background processess.
This might be similar to shutdown abort which will take hell lot of time to come up after during startup.

But the above thing is extremely dangerous. I am not sure but this might corrupt the database.

It is always better to go conventional way of shutdown or startup.

NOt necessarily. You need to check the registry values (a number of them.. like shutdown type, wait time etc.) for that oracle service.
SHutting down oracle this way (without specifying correct registry settings), by restarting windows may casue instance to abort & database getting corrupted.

C:\>net stop <service-name>

It is always better to go conventional way of shutdown or startup.

Yes, IMHO that should be the way.
