  4. Login to SQL*Plus as the system administrator using the command: sqlplus \/ as sysdba.<\/li>\n
  5. Enter the system administrator password and then press the enter key.<\/li>\n
  6. Enter the following command to shut down the database:<\/li>\n
  7. immediately shut down.<\/li>\n
  8. If there are user sessions or transactions in progress, the system will wait for these operations to complete before closing the database.

  9. When the message “Database closed” appears, it means that the database has been successfully closed.<\/li>\n
  10. Enter the following command to exit sqlplus:<\/li>\n
  11. Leave;<\/li>\n
  12. Close the command prompt or terminal window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
