Hi,

In My database rollback segment space is not releasing space even though, there is no transaction is using RBS. RBS tablespace size is around 70GB. Can any one please help me in this regards. Unfortunately still our environment is running in 9i due to application code

SQL> show parameter undo

NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
undo_management string MANUAL
undo_retention integer 1800
undo_suppress_errors boolean FALSE
undo_tablespace


Regards

Please read and follow the forum guidelines, to enable us to help you:

It is normal & expected behavior to "not release space".
Why did you make RBS so large to start with?

I have vague memories of setting an OPTIMAL size for rollback segments, and using a command something like ALTER ROLLBACK SEGMENT....SHRINK TO OPTIMAL to reduce their size. But I see no reason for you not to use automatic undo management with 9i. OK, there were a few bugs - but even so, it was far superior to manual rollback segments.

I read in one of the forum, If RBS used then undo_management will be MANUAL, is it ?

Create an undo tablespace, restart the database usin it, drop your rollback segments tablespace, enlarge the undo tablespace as needed.

Please let me know how to set optimal value for Rollback segment, and how to get the optimal value set for rollback segment. There is no value set for rollback_segments parameter, last week we reboot the DB. and today when i check the database.there is seven RBS segments are in online out of 48. My doubt is how it became online automatically, why other RBS segment are still in offline..

I have said what I have to say.
I will not give advice on obsolete feature.
Use the correct one. Full stop.

undo tablespace is the way to go as Michel emphasized.

iamsathk,

I highly recommend using undo segments over rollback segments. I used to redefine the rollback segments with the following script that builds the alter commands for you. Maybe after you redefine the rollback segments into another tablespace you will be able to resize the rollback tablespace down to size. Then implement undo segments.

set lines 150
set pages 0
set feedback off
spool rbsprod.lst;
select 'alter rollback segment '||segment_name||' offline;'
from dba_segments where (tablespace_name like '%ROLLBACK%'
or tablespace_name like '%RBS%') and bytes/1024/1024>.0300 and segment_name not like '%BIG%' order by segment_name;
select 'drop rollback segment '||segment_name||';'
from dba_segments where (tablespace_name like '%ROLLBACK%'
or tablespace_name like '%RBS%') and bytes/1024/1024>.0300 and segment_name not like '%BIG%'  order by segment_name;
select 'create rollback segment '||segment_name||
' storage (initial '||initial_extent||' next '||next_extent||' maxextents '||max_extents||' minextents '
||min_extents||') tablespace '||tablespace_name||';'
from dba_segments where (tablespace_name like '%ROLLBACK%'
or tablespace_name like '%RBS%') and bytes/1024/1024>.0300 and segment_name not like '%BIG%'  order by segment_name;
select 'alter rollback segment '||segment_name||' online;'
from dba_segments where (tablespace_name like '%ROLLBACK%'
or tablespace_name like '%RBS%') and bytes/1024/1024>.0300 and segment_name not like '%BIG%'  order by segment_name;
spool off;
set pages 50
set wrap off
set lines 100
set feedback on
