Roy,

You will have to recreate the database to change db_block_size. Possibly the only way to do this is through export/import.

-full export
-remove old database
-recreate database with new block size.
-full import

30Gb database will take approximately 12 hours to complete the job on a medium
sized machine.

all,

I would like to change the db_block_size (currently 2048) of our production database and would be interested in hearing from those that have done this on a
not so small database. This is our oracle financials/manufacturing server and
is about 30GB in size. Did you recreate the database using imp/exp or another
method?

Running Oracle 8.0.5 on Sun Solaris 7.

thanks in advance...roy
