Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:RE: Rollback Segments
Kev,
A public rollback segment is immediately placed on line after creation and is automatically picked up by the instance at startup. Consequently doing maintenance on them is a real pain in the A&^. Private rollback segments on the other hand have to be listed in your init.ora file to be used by the instance and can be taken off line for maintenance purposes. They are both public assets it's just a matter of how the database treats them. BTW: If you have private RBS's and loose that particular tablespace it's very easy to get the instance back on it's feet again. If their public, you can be in for a pile of fun!!!

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?
