I don't think the issue is so much about whether Oracle recovery can handle a database crash or not. I think the issue is whether you want to spend the time of going through that process. I'm sure recovery can also handle the server being powered cycled but how many people do that without shutting down Oracle first?

Since we had a car analogy already in this thread... I'm confident that the seat belts in my car work but I'm in no rush to test them out, and even if they do work I'm likely to end up bruised anyway.

I guess the bruising my equate to overtime spent recovering the database... Oh, I hate trying to make really good analogies.

yeah so? are you suggesting that Oracle instance recovery can't handle a database crash? If so, better pray your server never crashes.
