I *think* the difference that dba_rollback_segs is a static view, while v$rollstat is dynamic.
So the static view shows the segments as ONLINE, which they were, even though they were also full The dynamic view shows what is happening at that moment in time, which is that the segments were FULL. It's an explanation, not a great one, but an explanation. --- "Weaver, Walt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay, so today one of our QA databases suddenly started spewing out > ora-1552 > errors.
