I tried to run a pl/sql program that processed about 2.5m rows. it works without any problems. There was a requirement to process just some of that data so i extracted about 25000 lines from that source file.

When i ran the process it came up with ORA-30036: unable to extend segment by 8 in undo tablespace 'UNDOTBS1'.

- If the undo tablespace is not enough for the 25k lines how was it enough for the 2.5 million lines? The current size of the undo tablespace is 1GB. This is fine as i have run the same process to process the 2.5m lines several times on the development area which has the same undo size.

is it possible that when i run the process the first time it used up all the undo space and the second run could not allocate any undo space? If so, then how is the undo space freed up? (The process has issued all commits where it needs to)

Space is used by:
- blocks currently used
- blocks not used but not expired and you have a guarantee clause on undo tablespace
- blocks not used and expired and suffer a bug that exists in 9i (this is why we ask to ALWAYS post your version and with 4 decimals)

The problem is (most likely) not in the process itself but on the concurrent ones.
