shutdown timeout (19c)
19c database (19.25 to be exact) on Windows x64
Doing some upgrades on my databases, but having issues with … shutdown. I would either shutdown normal or immediate, as these databases are really used for me as well, and often they are started up just before (because my Windows is down).
Now, back in the old days I remember that there is a time-out on shutdown, which is 1 hour. That means that you supply a Shutdown or Shutdown Normal, and in the worst case, you get an Ora-01013, after which you can re-try with either Immediate or Abort and get it sorted.
