Hi,
I have a database of size 16Gigs (4 data files of 4 gigs each) of which roughly 10Gigs is used. I have been getting errors during daily exports (Full database Export size. roughly 700MB). Following is the error:

snapshot too old: rollback segment number ? with name "R0?" too small
(where ? in error varies from 1 to 4)

I have setup 4 Rollback segments (R01 to R04) with its table space RBS (The initial size was about 50MB, but after the error today , I changed it to 500MB). Following is the storage specs for all rollback segments:

Initial Size 104 KB
Next Size 104 KB
Optimal Size - none
Minimum number - 2
Maximum Number - 505

Could you let me know what I should do to avoid this error. Also let me know if this setting for the rollback segments is fine for this big database.

Thanks

BTW, I just saw the previous posting on this error from RAjes. If I recreate these rollback segments, what would be the best values to use? If you've any specific links on configuring the size and setup of rollback segments, let me know

Your rollback segments are small for this operation. Increase the initial size to 200Mb, the Next to 10Mb, or create bigger rollback segments just for the export and offline the other one's untill your export is completed. Also change the MAXEXTENTS to UNLIMITED, since you will run out of extents one day.

The generic recommendation for "Snapshot too old" is to increase the size of the rollback segments. For getting this error on import, some workarounds are mentioned Here

Hope that helps,
