Hi,
Regarding my original script (used with 9i instances on Unix):
shutdown immediate
startup
shutdown immediate
startup mount
Here is why I use this sequence. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong:
I use 2 shutdowns because when the script begins, the instance might
be down (instance crash): the first "shutdown immediate" would not
succeed as wanted, the startup would recover the database and the "shutdown
immediate" would succeed, thus guaranteeing the consistency of the
backup (one "shutdown immediate" would not guarantee that
consistency.)
One can wonder if there is a need for the first shutdown if the
instance has crashed. I wrote this first shutdown so that it would
completely close a "half-crashed" instance. Then hopefully the startup
would proceed without any problem.
Of course this approach is not suitable for production databases
(offline backups should be avoided on production databases in the
first place!)
Question: Is this "half-crashed" instance scenario plausible (with
regard of PMON, SMON...)?
TIA
Jerome
