Hmm...a normal shutdown?  How long is that going to take?  (Has anyone
ever really used normal shutdown for anything useful?? ;-))

On any moderately busy database, you could be waiting indefinitely for a
normal shutdown.  (All it takes is one user to go home and not log out.)
you may be better off with a "shutdown transactional".

But, why bother?  Just follow the standard best practices, and don't
worry so much about your backups.  Always backup all datafiles, but
never tempfiles or on-line redo, and use the 'alter database backup
controlfile ...' command to make a backup copy of your controlfile.

Thanks a lot Riyaj,
I had tested the situation you saidme in the past, but any way letme
test again.
Maybe I'll have to ask a normal shutdown.
