There might be some docs somewhere but the issues are not as much technical as procedural. If you shut the database down, leave the listener up, and bring the database backup there are no connection problems except when the db is down. This implies that the instance and the listener are independent to a large extent. Having your users and developers being able to tnsping prod while the database is down may not be what you want. In any event, doing it either way won't do you any technical harm.
Allan -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 8:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Should the databases be shutdown before the listener or the other way around. A DBA here (actually at Service Provider) believes that the listener has to be shutdown before the databases in 8i according to some documentation (they can't recall). I am proposing: Set Oracle 817 environment shutdown database stop 817 listener set Oracle 806 environment stop 806 listener They feel it should be the other order: Shutdown Listeners Shutdown databases Any comments and/or issues David _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
