Isn't there a potential of having consistency problems, if first shutting
down using abort?

What do you mean with shutdown transactional? I thought that normal, immediate and abort are the only options for the shutdown command? I got the hang-ups both for normal and immediate mode. The latter one basically should kick all logged users resp. rollback their transactions,
at least that's my current knowledge.

Anyway, if noone is logged in into the db, then the shutdown command does what it should.
