How do you...

I am loving the fact that this thread can start with a man who is in love with another woman, from afar, and end up being a SQL-server vs Oracle debate.

That's because you are a woman.

Its all about priorities....

I do find that mine and Mr Windy Anna's relationship has become so much more fulfilling since we started to discuss the finer points of assembler of an evening. Even better if I show him my norks.

Do you do 1-on-1 teaching of Assembler? I have no intention of learning it, BTW.

I always end up winning the argument with that and the champagne tactic (with Mr Cojak, not Mr WA, obv...)

Firstly, you don't dive out of one relationship and into another.

Live on your own for a little while. Get used to being You!

When you say "known for 6 years" do you mean this in the biblical sense? Have you been having an affair with them?

If so, simply tell your wife that you don't love her and that you've been having an adulterous relationship for the past six years. That should solve question "a" very quickly.

Look whose talkign now?? didn't you ditch your wife for someone you met in pub one night ?

Depending on how you are shutting down the database, it will wait for jobs to finish before it closes completely, although new connections will be forbidden.

I worked for a client where they couldn't shut down cleanly because they had code running which was doing a blocking dequeue, which was always listening. Without putting a break point in, or enqueuing a stop message, the system never got to a point where you could shutdown cleanly.

Shutdown abort will always do it though
