shutdown abort
Learn it, Know it, Live it,
I once worked at a job where we had about 100 remote databases using shutdown immediate every night before tape backups. Before we converted to shutdown abort, just about every night at least 1 database would hang. That's when I converted to the dark side...and someday, so will you.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
I am resubmitting this email, as it didn't seem to show up
after it was
Last night I was planning to do a quick bounce of the
database, and get our
24x7 shop right back online. Problem was I wasn't able to complete a
'shutdown immediate'. I went through each of the existing sessions in
v$session and made sure that all of the user sessions were killed or
inactive, but the shutdown immediate still wouldn't process. With
damagement standing there looking worried, I went ahead with a shutdown
abort just so we could get back to online processing. This is a relatively
new phenomenom for me, as shutdown immediate or killing user sessions has
almost always worked for me in the past. I will add that while I was off
last week, my standin had to do two shutdown aborts of the database. So
something might just be amiss.
Anyhow My question is what should I look for when an instance
won't
shutdown via a shutdown immediate? Or maybe my problem is that I should
just wholeheartedly embrace shutdown abort, and let the recovery process
clean things up. My problem with that is I used to work with a senior dba
that would slap my wrist with a ruler if I did a shutdown abort.
