RE: Rollback Segments

Hi all,

        This brings me to a stupid question then. What is the true difference between a public and a private rollback segment? Because if I just think about it like a normal human being I would think that if a user made a Private rollback segment then only that user could use it, but of course I know that can't be the case.

Nixon,

While SET TRANSACTION can be used to assign a rollback segment to a transaction, it cannot be assigned exclusively to that transaction as you have found.

The ability to assign a rollback segment to a transaction and make it read-only for all others is something I've wanted myself for many years, and I know it's been on the official 'wish list' of requested changes by IOUG for some time.

Maybe 9i? Anyone know?
