Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: hanging shutdowns
The easiest way would be shutdown abort; startup restrict; shutdown
immediate; In fact I have suspicion that this three step process will
not be much faster than a simple shutdown immediate.
But hey, it is still dangerous to restart database for backup purposes, what if database will not startup from the script for some reason.
It is much safer to do online backups, and you can prepare and test all the scripts for online backup by next Sunday. At least you can test restore of small database, and partial restore of a large one.
