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.

Suhen
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
