Can you please send me a script to shut down my database using a Windows scheduler? Our database is 8.05. Thank you very much.

Create the following in Notepad and save it with a SQL extension:

Shut.sql 
==================== 
connect internal/<password> 
shutdown <normal/immediate/abort> 
exit

Then, create the following batch file and call the previously created SQL file within it:

Shutdown.bat 
=================== 
SET ORACLE_SID=<SID> 
svrmgr30 @c:shut.sql 
NET STOP ORACLESERVICE<SID> /y

If ORA_<SID>_SHUTDOWN = TRUE and ORA_<SID>_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT is high enough, you can simply create this instead:

Shutdown.bat 
=================== 
NET STOP ORACLESERVICE<SID> /y
