Wouldnt it be easier *not* to take your database offline?
Yes of course, but you know, that's a dream sometimes. Last week we
moved the DB from a RAID6 to RAID10 after a hardware upgrade, this
caused a (short) downtime. Yes we want to have a replicated DB on
another server, but that doesn't exist ATM. And even if: the option to
have a maintenance mode to fool clients is good to have, for example
for kernel or shared lib updates that require a reboot.
The right thing to do is not to be lazy, and do all this at 4am of our local
time zone. I bet you will not receive _any_ complaints.
