I try to bounce database by shutting it down and starting it back up but it just hang in there for almost 45 minutes trying to shut down. It is running on Solaris8, I can press Ctrl+C to interrupt it or issue a kill command to kill it but I hesitate to do so. Do you have any advices and why it takes too long to shutdown database? It usually only takes me about 3 minutes to bounce database.
Thanks,
David
