Client Process not killed after database reboot [message #298157]

Hi,

I just don't understand how a process (and in my case many "select" processes on the client side) can still be active and CPU consuming after the Oracle server has been shutdowned and restarted. Only the Oracle server has been restarted, not the server machine.

Thank you for your comments

[quote Post what you did to see what you said you saw /quote]
We are using an ERP and every night we shut down the Oracle server (shut down immediate) automatically by a script and make a copy of the datafiles. Then we start the Oracle server. This morning it took ages to save the files and when the server was on at last, we looked at the processes and saw that Oracle processes of the day before (day of connection with TOAD)were still working . We had to kill them manually.
I hope this anwers your question.
Thanks for replying.

TOAD is not a reliable product.
Use SQL*Plus.
From what you said, I don't know which process it is, if it is a client process or a server/shadow one.
Shut down can't let processes as it waits for the end of the processes, it is more likely there is a kill (or a bad linux configuration that leads to zombie processes).

This is what I wanted to be sure about, that shut down kill all the processes.
They were client processes (as long as Toad can be relied on) and the process scripts were "Select" on a production table.

If you happen to shutdown Oracle server for any purpose than always use this opportunity to restart you OS also [applicable to servers having long uptime]. Time induced instability is a common cause for zombie processes & resource exhaustion on almost all major oses.
