Guys,

I have a query and even though I set transaction to a specific rollback segment, it gives me an error on another rollback segment.

I cannot cycle the instance at all to set rollback segment only to the larger one.

We are using Version 8.1.7. I have been thinking of using temporary tables. Here is what I am doing, any suggestions?:

commit;
set transaction use rollback segment large_rbs; SELECT l.licensee_id

, li.license_id
, alis.fnc_get_licensee_name(l.licensee_id) "Licensee Name"
, l.licensee_license_num "License Number"
, alis.fnc_get_address(CASE WHEN l.person_id IS NOT NULL THEN l.person_id

                                 WHEN l.firm_id IS NOT NULL THEN l.firm_id
                                 ELSE l.company_id
                                 END -- Linked to ID
                          , 2 -- Address Type (Business)
                          , CASE WHEN l.person_id IS NOT NULL THEN 1 -- Person
                                 WHEN l.firm_id IS NOT NULL THEN 2 -- Firm
                                 ELSE 3 -- Core Company
                                 END -- Link Table ID
                          , DECODE(l.company_id, NULL, 1, 0)) "Business Address" -- Is Person/Firm (1 yes person/firm, 0 CORE)


     , tc.tycl_cd "License TYCL"

     , tc2.tycl_cd "Appointment TYCL"

     , a.appointing_entity_id

--     , ae.appointing_entity_num "AE Number"


     , (SELECT ae.appointing_entity_num FROM alis.appointing_entity ae WHERE ae.appointing_entity_id = a.appointing_entity_id) "AE Number"

     , alis.fnc_get_appt_entity_name(a.appointing_entity_id) "AE Name"

- Check history table to see if valid on 9/1/2006 li.license_id IN ( SELECT t.history_linked_to_id FROM history t WHERE t.history_category_lk_id = 4 -- License Status AND t.link_table_lk_id = 6 -- License AND t.former_value IN ('VALID', 'VALID - PROBATION') AND t.former_effective_dt < TO_DATE('9/2/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY') AND t.new_effective_dt >= TO_DATE('9/2/2006', 'MM/DD/YYYY') ) ) )

Thanks,
