In my experience stopping/starting a listener doesn't take more then a few
seconds.
However, it can take a while (have no figures available) before the
"locallistener databases" will register them selfs with the listener.
The other day it took about 30 seconds for the last local listener to register,
in out test environment.
The existing connections are not impacted, only new connections can't be made.
So I gues that applications which user some kind of connection-pooling
mechanism are not hurt, since they do not (generally) need to create new
connections all the time. Applications whitout connection pools may suffer from
"database loss" or "no database" for a while. I guess it's up to "the
bussiness" to see whether that is acceptable.
Best Regards,
Martijn
