Title: RE: Re[2]: How can I get my DB back if I lost one of my rollback Hi Dick, I see your point. What about when the db does something similar to a shutdown abort? Then you do need your rollback segments to perform a full recovery. LK -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

The same statement I use for Unix, I will use for SQL Server. Give me $40,000 and I will build an NT box, take $40,000 and build a unix (Solaris, HP-UX, AIX type) and see who wins. Same thing works for SQL Server and Oracle. Granted $40,000 is a small budget, but there are a lot of people

Lisa, I believe that is why using shutdown abort is not truly endorsed by Oracle, except as a last resort. What I've noticed on the list is the desire by some to over use this method of shutting down the DB. Now I will admit that shutdown normal is a real pain in the back side since every
