Hi everybody,

I have a database used for datawarehousing. I set my
db_block_size to 16K. I have heard conversations that
a OS block size of 512 k will greatly improve reading performance for DSS on Widows NT. It is that so? What is the correlation between OS block size and db_block_size? Did anyone tried to optimize the I/O by changing OS block size from a default 64K to 512k? The database is Oracle 9i running on Windows 2000.

Thanks,
CD
