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 thoughComment

Originally posted by DBA_bloke View PostAgreed. Shutdown abort is not some sort of "Oh my God, we're risking the DB... better get our CVs ready!" thing: just means that all sessions are suddenly terminated, and the DB then shuts down. When you start it up, again, it'll eventually put everything right. Ah! The majesty of Oracle!Comment

I used to put Morcambe on my job applications when leaving uni - in the section which asked if there was anywhere in the world where you would not work. So not the middle east, Northern Ireland (it was bad back then) or any tin pot little overthrow the government because the price of fish has risen - Morcambe!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
