Snapshot Too Old Maybe caused bcos of Delayed Block Cleanout Problems.
Now this Bock was updated an Hour ago and u are now selecting it.. It
finds that there are ITL Entries in there and oracle wants to see if the
Transaction has been commited.
He Goes back to the Transaction Table of the RBS Pointed by this ITL and he finds that there is No Rollback entry available.. Why is this ??? The Optimal Parameter Shrunk the RBS Down and with it all the Undo Information needed to do a Block Clean out.
HTH

To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
why would removing optimal setting help with snapshot too old?
what I dont understand is that each of my DML transactions are
independent of each other. They query and perform DML on different
tables. None of them overlap. The only time they overlap is when they
hit the data dictionary for some brief queries.
