RE: shutdown abort warnings

Appreciate the feedback, and will ignore the paper as it seems obviously close to a decade old. Points taken away for either not removing the paper, updating it, or not being more specific to include dates and versions at a minimum. However it has to be Oracle 8 at the latest.

I was reading (and contributed my .02£), to the forum discussion awhile ago concerning shutdown abort yet came across this advice and warnings of possible corruption still being advertised.

Does this lend credit to the institution, or take points away? The leanings where very much favorable to abort with much in depth analysis.

If so, one wonders.... (not that I have any intention of utilizing there services in the first place... it is simply academic).
