- The sqldba command option 'immediate' will shut down the oracle
- database cleanly immediately. There is also the 'abort' option,
- but I recommend it NOT be used except when the actual database
- is stuck open perhaps because SMON or PMON has died back when
- Oracle 6 wasn't so stable.

- SQLDBA> shutdown immediate
- Database unmounted.
- Oracle instance shutdown.
- SQLDBA> exit
-
- A shutdown abort doesn't unmount the database, forcing instance
- recovery the next time the database is started up.
