Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Db_block_size - Can it be set to 16384?

Hi experts.

I'am installing my big databases 11.2 with a db_block_size of 16384. This production peoplesoft database is 305 gb in version 10.2.0.4.

Am I doing ok, setting this parameter to a larger size instead of what is mention on the

From Peoplesoft tools 8.51 Installation Oracle, page 229:

Note. For UNIX the default DB_BLOCK_SIZE in the int.ora file is operating system dependent. On most

operating systems the default is 8192 or 8K. For PeopleSoft ANSI databases this is more than adequate.

For PeopleSoft Unicode databases (for example, CHARACTER_SET AL32UTF8), a DB_BLOCK_SIZE

value of 8K is required.
