Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: db block size
Hi Tom,
please allow me to repeat what my beloved ex-colleague Pete Sharman
explained before,
in his well-known concise and subtle style:
Oracle has always positioned this feature to enhance transportable
tablespaces (TTS) --
which is certainly not "on the edge" functionality, I would say;
I think TTS is both pretty powerful and pretty useful.
so it is kind of unfair to label it as close to useless as a conclusion of this email thread?
Kind regards,
Lex.

This sounds like one of those "efficiencies on the edges" discussion. Everybody makes great points. But the real end result might be a gain in efficiency by about a decimal of a percent.
Another great Oracle innovation that *may be* used in about 1% of the installations. My gut feeling is that Oracle is adding functionality that not many of us would use.
