Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> DB_BLOCK_SIZE on DIGITAL ALPHA
I have just returned from a DBA course where they emphasised
the importance of setting the right DB_BLOCK_SIZE in
relation to the operating systems block size. They said that
most PC, NT and VAX systems have a block size of 512 bytes, but
unix systems have a block size of 8k which can be accessed in 1k
fragments. Before I go messing with my database I wanted to
make sure what the block size is on an DIGITAL ALPHA UNIX system
running OSF1. I can't find anything in the documentation and
don't know where to look and nor does my Unix system administrator.
Can anyone help.
