Oracle 12c 多租户：PDB 支持 abort 关闭么？

在Oracle 12c的考试中，有这样一道题目：

When executing shutdown abort in a pluggable database (PDB), you ____________.
A. shut down abort the CDB
B. shut down abort the PDB
C. shut down immediate the PDB
D. shut down immediate the CDB

当我们通过shutdown abort的方式关闭PDB时，事实上我们做了什么？这个简单的题目，如果不加限定条件，答案是不确定的。

让我们首先来看看在Oracle 12.1.0.1 版本中的表现。

通过10046的跟踪，可以清楚的找到事实真相:

[oracle@12c01db trace]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

对比两个跟踪文件，可以清晰的看到，在后台两种关闭方式事实上都被转换成immediate的方式关闭数据库，无论是归档模式还是非归档模式表现相同：

[oracle@12c01db trace]$ grep -i pluggable eygle_ora_14095.trc
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE CLOSE IMMEDIATE
[oracle@12c01db trace]$ grep -i pluggable eygle_ora_14115.trc
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE CLOSE IMMEDIATE

在跟踪文件中的这一段代码如下：

=====================
PARSING IN CURSOR #140136925772400 len=40 dep=0 uid=0 oct=227 lid=0 tim=67757313673 hv=1239515853 ad='9346b320' sqlid='65jadw14y30qd'
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE CLOSE IMMEDIATE
END OF STMT

CLOSE #140136925778208:c=0,e=3,dep=1,type=0,tim=67757313767
=====================

在这个版本中的CDB中，标准的命令不包含ABORT选项：

SQL> alter pluggable database YHEM CLOSE;
Pluggable database altered.
SQL> alter pluggable database YHEM open;
Pluggable database altered.
SQL> alter pluggable database YHEM CLOSE ABORT;
alter pluggable database YHEM CLOSE ABORT
                                    *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option

所以在12.1.0.1版本中，这个问题的答案应该选择C。
