Re: shutdown abort

An offline cold backup is a physical backup of the database after it has been shutdown using the SHUTDOWN NORMAL command. If the database is shutdown with the IMMEDIATE or ABORT option, it should be restarted in RESTRICT mode and then shutdown with the NORMAL option.

These lines are from Oracle Manual

What I do is I try to shutdown immediate I wait for the process to complete for about 30Min and if it fails then I use a shutdown abort. Regarding your question I have never heard of any problem using shutdown abort command.
