Re: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection

There is no reason that it *should not* be possible. If a database can be shutdown via sqlplus, it's reasonable that it could be shutdown from another tool. It's possible to automate a shutdown today using Java or another 3gl to make an o/s call to sqlplus to start and stop the database. It happens every day using shell scripts. The goal is to make that process more reliable and seamless through the use of objects. Using Java would also make it less o/s specific.

Your thoughts...
