It is caused by running procedures. The dataset is very large. I am petty sure procedures do not have problem. How to fix it?

From the code you posted I say that indeed there is a problem with the procedures.

Thanks a lot.

I have checked again. It could not be script problem because it has run many many times in many many machines.

The problem is related to the undo segment while reach "rollback".

a guy in my company told me it could be caused by too many rowes processed by the procedures. It cause the undo segment too large to stay in the memory and eventually caused the snapshot too old problem.

he suggests me to cut the process into segments and commited more often.

I am trying this way now.

Sounds like a great way to be sure to run into the ORA-01555: snapshot too old error.
