RE: Query Database while shutdown in progress

I do SHUTDOWN ABORT all the time, and I haven't seen corruption caused
by it since probably Oracle 7.  It is best to issue the "ALTER SYSTEM
CHECKPOINT" command first, but this may not be possible if the database
is hung.  I have seen many situations where a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE simply
would not complete.

In all the docs I read for 10g (read: certification prep guides),
shutdown abort is still treated like a leper.  I'm pretty surprised by
this thread so far.
