Re: Snapshot too old from READ-ONLY table (data pump export)

The problem with delayed block cleanout only occurs after the tablespace was
placed in read only mode and only when the undo has been aged out.

The fact that the tablespace is read only is the thing that stops Oracle
from performing the clearout.

The amount of elapsed time since the tablespace was made read only isn't a
factor.
