Let me throw in my 2 cents worth on this topic. There are two problems with SHUTDOWN ABORT that I have experienced in the past. 1. Before 9i (it appears to be fixed in 9i) if you inserted data in a table, then did a shutdown abort, if after restarting the database, you tried to truncate the table

Rajesh, There are unknowns with every feature. ABORT is a feature just as IMMEDIATE is. In version 7, I encountered a bug with IMMEDIATE that required recovery from a backup, and eventually manual BBED'ing of the SYSTEM datafile by Oracle BDE. SO maybe we shouldn't use immediate either. I'll j

I totally agree I am witness of one of these untested combination resulting in "true disaster" . And the combination was shutdown immediate to an extremely busy database (with no response), followed by shutdown abort and all the data files got corrupted. We could not recover tha

I have to say that I still have an emotional response to 'shutdown abort', despite knowing that logically it ought to be perfectly safe. The reason for this is the lack of stress testing that goes on at Oracle Corp. In most (if not all) cases, the only blanket stress test that the software gets

Agreed. All that matters is the redo logs. If Oracle had named the shutdown options more accurately, that is shutdown abort => shutdown fast shutdown immediate => shutdown hopefully shutdown transactional => shutdown when hell freezes over shutdown normal => shutdown never then I'm pretty sure I
