The oracle documentation on this is just plain wrong. It appears as though someone cut and pasted the documentation from System V. I mentioned this to Oracle Support a long time ago, but nothing has changed. How does one help Oracle correct their docs? Since the shutdown process merely kills processes, you might try killing the processes and removing the SGA file that is created by oracle (see the oracle startup file for the exact name - it is removed on startup).
