"fundamentally if you don't trust crash recovery of your database it's
time to find another database. "
 
That says it all.

Subject: Re: shutdown abort warnings


and indeed David is listed as working on a Y2K project, so I doubt it's
a case of 'still talking about' and more a case of 'date your white
papers then everyone will know when they are written'. I have to say
that the idea of shutting down a database instance in order to kill an
orphaned o/s process seemed fundamentally wrong headed to me. 
 
On shutdown abort itself - well I trust Oracle to recover after a power
failure, I know crash recovery did have issues in some antediluvian
versions, but fundamentally if you don't trust crash recovery of your
database it's time to find another database.
