long response My opinion that shutdown abort is totally safe is based on this: The only thing that matters in the database is redo logs. Everything else is optional - ie it could be recovered albeit with difficulty (eg you can recreate a controlfile from scratch if you really have to, and

That is EXACTLY what happened a week and a half ago. We had to do a shutdown abort because it wouldn't go down, and when we tried to restart it, it wouldn't come back... redo log corruption... and this being test... it isn't in archive log mode (another valid solution but no longer really an

I'm not committed to the premise that shutdown abort caused the corruption... only shutdown abort with a dead EMN0 process, when restarted, had redo log corruption. I have used shutdown abort in several hundred circumstances when there is something hanging around out there preventing a normal

Title: shutdown abort / startup restrict / shutdown vs. shutdown immediate I don't necessarily agree that shutdown immediate is quicker. If you force a checkpoint prior to the shutdown abort the subsequent crash recovery upon startup is usually pretty fast. Parallel recovery could be a
