I have seend UNDO growing very quickly when running large jobs with a high UNDO_RETENTION. With RBS I could set Optimal, then Shrink and then unset Optimal or, easier, Offline, Drop and Create. With Undo and undo_retention of 1 hour, sometimes I have to wait for a day or so till I find that I can shrink the Undo Tablespace datafile down [or create a new Undo TBS, Drop and Create !] Hemant At 08:12 PM Wednesday, you wrote: >I'd be interested in a quick poll. > >Your case is the first time I've heard of undo space >being less than rollback space.
