Thanks for the explanations you've all provided.

Not an option. It never was. The requirements were not set by me
but the agency(dont ask which one).We cant just go there and tell them,

"hey you, increase RBS, NOW!"

Function Based Index was not an option either, for the same reason.
And dbms_transaction.use_rollback_segment, pretty fancy, I have 
to admit, but made many assumptions. 

We have a table, and thats that. We couldnt create no other objects, 
we just had to work with that. If I had my way I'd update them all in
one shot, and commit afterwards and be done with it. 

But in the process, and thanks to you, I wouldnt have learned about
ROWNUM's peculiarities... 

Many thanks, 
maa
