RE: Oracle 8.0.3 on NT4.
I spoke to support today, they said that shutting down NT absolutely
does not shutdown down oracle. It issues kill_process() which is worse
than shutdown abort.

P.S
There is a case whereby both are right: if shutting down NT does not
automatically stop all services (which I would find most odd), then
stopping NT does not shut down the database, but stopping the service
would have done.
Support did mention that a certain registry value can be set to alter
the behavoir of the service, can't recall what it was now though.
I mentioned orasafe and that is totally unsupported.
Long live Unix.
