For
openers, shutdown immediate is generally quicker than the combination
of shutdown-abort/startup-restrict/shutdown-normal. It is also
gentler. Consider the analogy of shutting down a Windows desktop
computer. Is it preferable to do a standard software shutdown (and
maybe tell Windows that you really want to end that hung process) or is it
preferable to yank the plug out of the wall then plug it back in again, start up
the machine, then shut it down gracefully? I always try to shut Windows
down gracefully and only pull the plug when the damn thing is too stupid or
brain dead to figure out what shutdown means. I do the same with
Oracle.

-> shutdown immediate
better than
-> shutdown abort / startup restrict / shutdown normal ?(That is assuming of course that no user / job will try to sneak in after you do the startup restrict)
