I am in the midst of implementing hourly statspack snapshots in our databases and am wondering what other people's thoughts are about creating startup and shutdown triggers to snapshot the database. I'm leaning towards not doing it unless there is a good reason to do it. It seems to me like it could add complexity in recovering and shutting down a database. Any thoughts?
