Chris - DB_BLOCK_SIZE is still there definitely. And I am confident that a create database script from 8.1.7 will work against 9.2 just fine. The issue is that the dbca (GUI Database Configuration Assistant) wants to create everything as 4k block size.

Rachel, Joe - Thanks for the suggestions on how to get around this. I will be looking into your suggestions. And yes, I mis-typed 8192 in the email, but had it correct in the database.

Hello! So is there a DB_BLOCK_SIZE to set for the database? Or has that been deprecated? And from now you will have to set the block size for each tablespace?

I just installed 9.2 this weekend.... and my database block sizes are 8k

you need to set the blocksize on EACH tablespace.

this is from memory, so assuredly not completely correct but should help point you in the right direction:

for each tablespace, you can define where the datafiles are. Somewhere on that tab menu, there is a screen that lets you set the blocksize
