Discussion Board
Oracle Database

Oracle manages the storage space in the datafiles of a database in units called data blocks. A data block is the smallest unit of I/O used by a database. In contrast, at the physical, operating system level, all data is stored in bytes. Each operating system has what is called a block size. Oracle requests data in multiples of Oracle data blocks, not operating system blocks.
