Actually, more frequent commits can increase the likelihood of
1650s. When a rollback segment extends beyond optimal, one of the
conditions for shrinkage is that two transactions find it over
extended and request that it shrink to optimal. Here's a scenario
that caused me problems. We scheduled a massive load over a weekend
when no one else would be using the system. The load would commit
every 100k rows. At the 5th iteration, the load would fail with a
1650. The commit signals a new transaction, so a new rbs was
assigned after each commit. Tx1 used RBS1 and extended it. Tx2 used
RBS2 and extended it, etc. By the time Tx5 came along, RBS1 - RBS4
had extended and consumed almost all the space in the tablespace.
When Tx5 needed space, it could not grab any more. It needed to have
space released from the other RBSs, but there were not other txs
that could find the overextended rbs and request that they shrink.
In the case presented, it looks like you have many rbss. This could be the same problem, if there is not enough other activity. Of course, then you risk getting 1555s.
It is important to remember that deletes are not just table level, you also have indexes to deal with. If you have enough indexes, you could be generating more index undo that table undo.
Quick answer is to increase the size of the rbs tablespace.
