Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Shutdown immediate - not quite as immedaite as I want it to
Jonathan:
An immediate shutdown doesn't wait for a user to complete their current SQL statement. It's just as if you KILLed the user session. If they had done a large update or insert in the current transaction you will have to wait for that all to be rolled back. However, having said that, there are some points-in-time when Oracle will not allow a current session to be KILLed immediately because it is in the middle of something which cannot be interrupted for any reason ("Don't interrupt me - I'm on the PHONE!"). These are usually very short instances (no pun intended) and so normally a KILLed session (or all sessions from shutdown immediate) should start rolling back and disappearing very quickly. HTH.

I've had this happen a few times. An immediate shutdown waits for users to complete their current SQL statement before it terminates their sessions. If someone is executing a long, long, long running query, you might find yourself waiting. At least, I "think" that's what was happening in my case.
