Sergei, are you committing in your "transaction"? A transaction ends with a commit or rollback. Therefore if you execute set transaction use rollback... then commit, the next transaction will grab whatever rbs it wants unless you specify set transaction use rollback... again.

Subject: strange issue with setting transaction
I am running 8.1.6 on solaris 2.8.
Before running a large update, I tried to set a specific rollback
segment by:
Set transaction use rollback segment RBIG20;
The transaction runs for a while and fails with:
ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 29 with name "R27"
too
Small
Any idea?
Thank you
Sergei
