    Code:
    SQL> SET TRANSACTION USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT Rollbig;
    
    Transaction set.
    
    SQL> alter table calls drop unused columns;
    alter table calls drop unused columns
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number 1
    ORA-01650: unable to extend rollback segment R01 by 4 in tablespace RBS

    DDL and DML Transaction

    Hi,
    I suppose set traction rollback segment works only with DML transactions and not DDL transactions.
    As you are trying to modify the table structure the statement comes under DDL type thats why you are facing this problem.
    Thanks

    Hi

    That will not work beacuse in Oracle a DDL is processed someyhin like this

    commit;
    Your DDL
    commit;

    because oracle silently adds a commit before your sql statememt the set transaction use rollback segment is lost.

    one way to do this is offfline all your other rollback segments and make the rollbig as the only rollback segment online and try.

    regards

    you can use

    ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMNS CHECKPOINT XXX

    where XXX is number of rows, this issue a commit every XXX rows
