I use UNDO, however I still got the famous ORA-01555. The funny thing is = it happened during an analyze and it was consistent. I was using = dbms_stats procedure. Every day, when the analyze job ran, I had an = ORA-01555. Metal link explained it as delayed block cleant out. Check = the metal link paper:40689.1. This is a good article and I cannot = explain better than this paper. Kirtikumar has a good paper which he = presented at IOUG - 2004 about Undos. Bottom line, I increased the undo_retention and that fixed the problem.

As things "AUTO" usually take more space then manually managed things, so I decided that the adjustment=20 factor is 100% (disks are cheap, as long as I don't have to actually pay for them). It worked. I don't manage RBS any more and I don't have any waits on undo segment space.
