Hi all,



I have a problem with rollback segment. I am a beginner and do not have
much knowledge of DBA and our DBA is not very, should I say, "efficient" ..



Anyways, the problem is there is a transaction of around 5 MB. This would
not fit into the normal rollbacks created and gave an error of "maxextents
for rollback reached", so our DBA created a rollback of 500 MB and I used
this rollback for the transaction by using the "set transaction" command.
But even then the error continued. So I split the transaction by giving
"commits" (and then set transaction again) in the transaction. But the
error continued. The DBA then gave next extent of 50 MB and maxextents 80.
But, yes, the error continued. Now I have given a commit after *every*
insert and update and each transaction is less the 5 K, but the error still
continues.



I don't know what else I can do and the DBA is asking me to split the
transaction further. This I cannot do unless I give an insert, for say 10
columns, commit it and then update the same record for balance 10 columns.
I am at a total loss. I don't think I need to split the transaction further
as it is less than 5 K. I think there is something wrong with the rollback
created. Can someone please suggest what could be the problem???



Thanks and regards,

Alice
