How to Convert the Database Block Size

Database Block Size

What is DB_BLOCK_SIZE?

DB_BLOCK_SIZE is the SGA initialization parameter that is used to determine the size of database blocks in bytes.

Oracle recommends that your database block size match, or be multiples of your operating system block size. One can use smaller block sizes, but the performance cost is significant. The choice should depend on the type of application you are running. If you have many small transactions as with OLTP, use a smaller block size. With fewer but larger transactions, as with a Data warehousing (DW) application, use a larger block size.
