There might be some docs somewhere but the issues are not as much technical as procedural. If you shut the database down, leave the listener up, and bring the database backup there are no connection problems except when the db is down. This implies that the instance and the listener are independent to a large extent. Having your users and developers being able to tnsping prod while the database is down may not be what you want. In any event, doing it either way won't do you any technical harm.

Should the databases be shutdown before the listener or the other way around.

A DBA here (actually at Service Provider) believes that the listener has to
be shutdown before the databases in 8i according to some documentation (they
can't recall).

I am proposing:

Set Oracle 817 environment
shutdown database
stop 817 listener
set Oracle 806 environment
stop 806 listener

They feel it should be the other order:
Shutdown Listeners
Shutdown databases

Any comments and/or issues
