Hi folks,

I am getting error while creating database with 8k block size in oracle 9i. I am using DBCA for this but after all attempts it seems not working for me. Do anybody have idea why it is failing. Please refer attached screenshot.

Thanks in Advance!

Which 9i?

ORA-00058: DB_BLOCK_SIZE must be %s to mount this database (not %s)
 *Cause:  DB_BLOCK_SIZE initialization parameter is wrong for the database
          being mounted. It does not match the value used to create the
          database.
 *Action: Fix the value of the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter or mount a database
          that matches the value.

Regards
Michel

Hi Michel,

I am just starting with a fresh installation (9.2.0.1) It works with 4k db block size. but i have to create db with 8k as my old db which i am duplication here is 8k size. while creating db with dbca i just edited 4096 to 8192 and it fails halfway.

Cheers

I believe it does. However, we can't see it.

In order to attach a screenshot:

save it as a JPG or PNG file
while writing a message, click the "Choose ..." button, browse in order to find a file
click the "Upload File" button
optionally, choose "Insert image into message body"

I don't use DBCA but message says "Clone database creation in progress". You can't change the block size when you clone a database.

As I said I don't use DBCA but for create a template script this first then I customize it. Are you sure you didn't check a wrong option?

Probably one of the options you use with DBCA.
The templates that are used by DBCA are prone to errors.

That did ring some bells.
There used to be a specific bug with 9i DBCA (templates). Do not edit/change the block size or just use "new database template".
Better, just use command line options to create the database.
As another prominent member of this forum would frequently say,

Those live by GUI, die by GUI.
