Yeah right! I have six years of experience and I use shutdown abort all the
time. Just force a checkpoint first to speed up hot recovery on the
startup. The other forms of shutdown take too long, and may never complete
if you have long running transactions that don't do frequent commits.
Check out the following paper if you think I am wrong...

Startup force, on the other hand, I would never use this unless I had a high
level oracle support engineer holding my hand.
