Yet another "shutdown abort" question

edited Apr 16, 2020 12:00PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 24 commentsAnswered

Hello -

There are two admant perspectives at our shop -

1) "Shutdown abort / startup restrict / shutdown immediate" should always be used in the standard database shutdown scripts.
vs.

2) "shutdown abort" should never be used because there is a risk of corruption. (I am from this camp.)

I've done a lot of research online to get the current thinking.

From what I can determine, "shutdown abort" will not corrupt data, as long as the database is running 8.1.7 or higher.

What is the official truth?

Thank you!

Howdy, Stranger!
