I would like to see some dialog on the following issue :
Is there a "need" to cycle an Oracle database ?  and if so how frequently ?




IE; 


Can you and should you keep a Oracle database up and running continually for
3, 6,..months?



I have always thought that it is a good idea to recycle an instance weekly
(if you can) to cleanup memory and take a cold backup.
