The application (purchased) inserts one row at a time with only a final commit. I cannot fix the application.
I am told that no one else was on the system (un-verifiable).
So, even if none of the rollback was released by commit, how did it get to be 3GB in size?

I'm not sure what exactly goes in the rollback segs but was the insert for multiple rows and was there a commit in between them? Rollbacks will not release space unless you commit. Also I believe other users with uncommitted transactions will stop your rollbacks from reusing space. RobReceived on Thu Dec 10 1998 - 16:26:34 CSTJohn P. Higginswrote in message <366F417D.41FF673A@deere.com>...My 3GB rollback segment overflowed while inserting 2GB into a table. I do not understand this. I thought that inserts placed very minimal undo information into the rollback segment -- like just the ROWID's (plus some overhead). Can anyone shead any light?
