Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:Rollback segment shrinks
Terry,
Take a look to see if there is some long running process that is inactive and attached to a client that you know is not connected to the database. I've had this happen when someone lets the query from hell loose and then shuts off their PC or worse yet, does a 'set pause on' in their SQL session and minimizes SQL*Plus. Your rollback usage will grow logarithmically since the query is forcing it to be retained.

Oracle 8.1.6.3 on Sun Solaris 2.6.
The rollback tablespace filled up last night and the rollback segments became full. I added space to the tablespace and tried shrinking the rollback segments. They remained full, so I altered them offline and online. The extents are increasing, but I still can not get a shrink to work. If they don't stop increasing, my tablespace will fill up again and I can't keep throwing disk at it. Since this is a production system, bouncing is not an option.
Any ideas?
TIA Terry
