I need someone to clarify what I am seeing.

Table contains approximately 6.6 million rows.
Each row is no more than 400 bytes.
Want to delete approximately 5 million rows.

Getting the following error message:
ORA-1650: unable to extend rollback segment RBS23 by 1536 in      tablespace RBS

The total size of the RBS tablespace is about 6GB!
I do not understand why the RBS is "too small" to
accommodate this DELETE.
What, if anything, can be done other than adding
another datafile to the tablespace.
