RE: any body come across, decreasing db_block_size.

srinvias

What you stated (Full DB exp/imp) is the standard for "Changing the DB_BLOCK_SIZE" period AFAIK. There should be no reason why it would work for an upsize - and not for a downsize..

Can I ask what your reason for downsizing the block size is? I've never heard of anybody wanting to do this before..

Hi lists

have any body come across, decreasing db_block_size.

we know that the db_block_size can be increased.

to do this, usual way is export full db. create new db with new increased db_block_size and import the data into it.

will this work for decrease db_block_size.

my present size is 8 k now that should be decreased to 4K
