Re: DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS deprecated

Yes,

But in this case you simply replace db_block_buffers with db_cache_size. The cache is then split into granules (as is the whole SGA) of 4MB or 16MB, and for the db_cache_size, each granule contains buffers and buffer headers.

This is part of the infrastructure that allows dynamic reallocation of SGA memory to
different parts of the SGA.
