I am planning to install Oracle 8.0 on Digital Alpha NT 4.0 Server. The Database will be for Datawarehousing. I am not sure whether DB_BLOCK_SIZE should be set to 4K or 8K while installing Oracle. What are advantages/disadvantages of 4K/8K?

Do you have any experience of RAID 5 (Hardware configuration) on DEC Alpha NT 4.0 running Oracle 8.0. Would appreciate your suggestions on it.

Thanks in advance. Received on Thu Nov 05 1998 - 08:38:24 CST
