It has been discussed already that long RM chains are bad. I would like to illustrate it with an example from our application. Below is RM chain from area 7. I take dbanalys every 5 days, so here is RM chain report.

In our case order is first created, then updated. That is why I believe RM chain does not shrink well. When we loaded orders from .d file in 05/27/16 we noticed a dramatic RM chain shrinking. Obviously. Each time we purge orders (Sept 2016 ) RM chain grows. Also makes sense. But day after day RM chain does not shrink much, just a little bit. An average record size for the "order-line" table ( it is only one table in area 7) is 501 with min 288 and max 714. So even the biggest record is much smaller than the Toss limit of 1000. I do not think we are unique with such long RM Chains in our database.
