Re: ** can two processes use the same rollback extent

And to further refine that statement and IIRC, a transaction will not use an extent E, that already has an active transaction in it, when the transaction has filled up the previous extent S, and is now looking to wrap into a new extent E. However, a fresh transaction can always be allocated space in an extent that already has an active transaction in it.

IIRC, a segment will not wrap into an extent that has an active transaction in it, but rather allocate a new extent. So the answer is...it depends.

      Hi,

          One rollback segment can be used by multiple
      transactions/processes but what about the extents? Is it safe to
      assume that only one transaction/process can use one extent? What is
      a good way to size the extent for warehousing tasks? Or guess the
      rollback generated and size needed.


      Thank You
