Thanks Dick for responding.

 

A small Clarification please.

 

Dick Wrote "While a part of that specific application might benefit from
the larger block size the rest of it and your database in general may
suffer."

Are you trying to communicate that "the rest of Database may generally
suffer" for want of enough SGA due to insufficient RAM space?

 

Would this be a NON-issue if the DB Server has a Huge RAM & thus Memory
/ SGA size are NOT a constraint?

 

Cheers

Vivek,

 

    You also need to consider what the impact of multiple block sizes
will do to your overall memory utilization.  To use multiple block sizes
you need to set DB_nK_CACHE_SIZE which reserves memory from your SGA and
DB_CACHE specifically for that tablespace(s).  While a part of that
specific application might benefit from the larger block size the rest
of it and your database in general may suffer.

Folks

 

Does use of Multiple BLOCK sizes (for different Tablespaces) help in
Performance of a Hybrid Application?

 

Any best practices, Links, Docs?

 

Thanks indeed
