Followup July 17, 2003 - 10am Central time zone:

if you have one extent
and you set max extents to one

then you would jam the transaction at the end of the rbs each and every time.

hence ONE is not a good number at all for rollback segments

hence ONE is not a permitted number for rollback segments

TWO is the minimum.


if we let you use one, someone would set maxextents to one and get errors constantly, and say
"stupid database". so we just don't let that happen.
