Seema, You got it backwards.
If Db Block Size is 8k, and you create a table with it's initial extent of 32k, the you have 4 db blocks making up the extent. An Extent is composed of one or more Db Blocks. A Db Block is defined when you create the db (although I heard that different tablespaces can have different Db Block sizes in 9i - correct anybody?) Hope this helps.
