Thank you Yechiel! I'm assuming that if you select this option, it might also generate a database creation script.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 10:18 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello Dennis You probably used one of the 3 preconfigured databases in step 2. If you choose instead "new database" you can change the block size in step 7: Initialization parameters. The reason is that the other 3 databases are created from data files that are already included in the CD, so you can not change their block size. When I choose general database, step 7 did not gave me an option to change the db_block_size.
