Thanks Dennis. Its a paranoid Monday question. Actually I came across an Oracle document which suggested that they always be enabled. I was skeptical so decided to ask the real experts instead :-)

Beth - Are you asking because you are experiencing a corruption problem, or because you're having a paranoid Monday? ;-) I believe the overhead is enough that you wouldn't turn them on "just because". But if you are experiencing occasional corruption, you could tolerate quite a bit of overhead. Dennis Williams

Hi everybody,

I'm soliciting opinions on whether or not its a good practice to enable DB_BLOCK_CHECKING and DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM. How much overhead is associated?

TIA, Beth
