Waow !!! A true, live Oracle 6 database ? AFAIK, PCTINCREASE has been hard-coded to 0 for rollback segments since the beginnings of Oracle 7. Concerning your question, it all depends on where your existing rollback segments are located in the datafile (look at dba_extents). All you have to do is drop and recreate each roolback segment in tirn. Now, if this really is an Oracle6 database, RESIZE doesn't work ... -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
