Connor,

I've fought this fight years ago.

If they feel the need to restart the Window's server for reasons other than 
Oracle you are stuck.

But restarting because they think Oracle needs it is just wrong.

Ask them for empirical evidence (proof) showing that Oracle is leaking memory 
and is in need of a restart.

They will not be able to show you any.  So you can respond that it looks like 
an personal choice - not a technical one.
 
That's really all you can do.  Expose their reasoning for what it is.
 
Tom

Hi all,
I need to convince a client that  they dont need restart their Oracle db (and 
their Windows server) every night.

Can anyone send me:

select to_char(min(logon_time),'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') started,
  round(sysdate-min(logon_time),2) days
 from v$session

for any long-in-the-tooth Windows server they've got...

Thanks,
Connor
