It seems now as if the burden of proof to use a uniform block size is mine. As Mladen said, there might be legitimate uses for using multiple block sizes within a database. However, without any experiance of supporting a system using multiple block sizes, I do not know what all the problems or benifits might be. That is part of the reason I was hoping to get some advice from the people who use this list Thanks for the input so far ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@freelists.org put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
