I would try to break up the delete's into smaller segments. If the table was comprised of part numbers I would delete parts 1-2000,then 2000-4000 etc.

Hi savitha

If you are deleting from SQL u have to set the rollback segment before starting the transaction.

SQL> COMMIT; (OR ROLLBACK)
SQL> SET TRANSACTION USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT RBS_BIG;
SQL> UPDATE XX SET BLA-BLA;
SQL>COMMIT;

If it is a PL/SQL program u have to use the dbms_transaction package before issuing the update statement.

If you are commiting after each 1000 rows, then every time after commiting u have to set the rollback segment.

If you have any questions, mail me i can send you sample code.

I hope this helps

Thanks

Jag
