slow shutdown from sqlplus
I have noticed this with oracle 10G on AS4 Redhat and the new
11G for windows that when I do a shutdown from the sqlplus
prompt it just hangs very rarely shutdown cleanly... so I turn the
listener off ( which in theory kills all connections ) and that
doesn't work much better... also I am seeing the same behavior
with shutdown immediate which forces me to use shutdown
abort ( they are not production servers ). I have not seen this
in previous version ( 9i, 8i, 7...)... I do notice that rman doesn't
have this problem ( please don't say just shutdown with Rman then).
Has anybody else noticed this behavior when shutting down
from sqlplus when no other connection to the database are
present?
