Reg Database shutdown.....

Hi team

we are working in ECC6 on windows 2003 with oracle

10.

I want to clarify a thing that once we want to shut down

the server ..we do as All Tasks--> stop .after this can we

shut down the server or do we need to shutdown the

database through Brtools. I have been told by a team

member that its a good practice that once we stop the tasks through MMC console ...we need to shut down the database Brtools.else it some what effect the system .

how far is this correct ..plz reply.
