shutdown immediate taking long time
I shut down the database which is running on 11.2.0.3 and i gave below command.
shut immediate.
It took more than 20 minutes but still database is not shutdown.So i killed the smon process and then startup and shut down the database.
--->Yes I did a mistake,whenever i need to shutdown the databse i didnt checked any active transaction is going on.I would have been killed if any active and then shutdown.
Any more thoughts and tips so that any one who shut down the database will not keep on waiting for long time.To overcome this please suggest solution.
