Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: The good old ORA-01555 rollback too small
Michael,
You've got it right, someone did an update/delete somewhere along the way, committed & left. Suggestion try speeding up the queries that these programs use. Sometimes a specialized index is just the trick. Have a job that archives data from PeopleSoft's CM_ACCTG_LINE table, 500M rows today. They create a specialized index on the table at the start of the program, great for locking things that get in the way up, do their thing, and then drop the index. Not only does it make the ORA-01555 go away but it cut the run time down around 60%.

Subject: The good old ORA-01555 rollback too small
ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 3 with name "RBS02"
too small

Production got one of these last night from two huge jobs trying to run against a table in the range of 200M rows. They were reading this table based on perhaps months and codes to build another table. So perhaps job A was reading "base" to build "job_a_table" based on current month and a set of codes, and job B was reading "base" to build "job_b_table" based on a different set of criteria.

I would normally assume this would have been just fine.

If not, is there any "locking" that can be done to stop the ORA-01555?
=20
(I still suspect some where along the line, someone tried to update while these jobs were running.)
=20
This has been running fine in the past. There are some new jobs being brought into production.

Oracle is 8.1.7.4 on HP-UX. Rollback capacity is in the vicinity of 32 GB and has never ran out yet.
