Why would you expect behaviour to be different? Setting retention to 0
is more likely to guarantee an ORA-01555 than anything else. A 4MB UNDO
tablespace is preposterously small. What is the point of what you are
doing? Is there a business case hidden here somewhere or are you just
playing around for purposes of personal education?
