Hi all,I am using SQL server 2014 enterprise.Been reading about patching and i am thinking of doing a proper shutdown before the patch.Is there any difference between doinga) shutdown using service/server configuration manager (e.g. right click on instance name -> stop) andissuing SHUTDOWN using T-SQL ?b) in T-SQL there is a SHUTDOWN [WITH NOWAIT] option (force shutdown), is there such option when using service/server configuration manager ?c) when issuing a SHUTDOWN, it does not matter which database you are currently accessing; it will shutdown the whole instance.d) can i say the difference between a PAUSING an SQLinstance, and doing a SHUTDOWN, is thati) with pausing, no new logins is allow but with SHUTDOWN (sysadmin, serveradmin role) still can loginii) with pausing, existing sessions can stay as long as they like , but with SHUTDOWN, sessions are ended automatically once their current transaction is completedis my above understanding correct, did i miss out any other options for shutting down ?Regards,Noob
