Dear All,

Is there a recommended approach on how to decide on the db_block_size for your database? I am looking to create a database that during the day will be used for light OLTP, but during the day and night will have heavish batch jobs. Therefore I was intent on using 8k or 16k blocks. Most likely 8k blocks. But is there an approach to actually chosing the correct db_block_size?

Cheers for any help in advance.
Justin
