Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Block size reccomendations
Hello,
Actually Oracle recommends that your database block size match or be multiple of your operating system block size. What you actually chose should depend on the type of application you are running. Lots of small transaction, small block size. Fewer but larger transactions, large block size.
Cheers,
Gordon
Hi there,
I believe that oracle suggests that your database Block Size match that of your O/S Block Size. If I remember correctly its in 2K, 4K, 8K or 16K.. I'd talk to your Sysadmin for the HP 9000 and have them match...
