It's just one example of my general suggestion that messing about with block sizes rarely has any direct performance benefit. But if you can put something out of the way where it can't do so much damage then the performance of everything else might benefit. Regards Jonathan Lewis

Hi Jonathan, I don't think the last one appeared until 9.2 I was wrong about caching only writes, though - one of the joys of trying to quote everything from memory. Thank you for this note, I had somehow missed this important improvement. The CACHE READS option means that the LOB goes

There is a note in one of the manuals about nologging lobs (or nocache lob, I forget which) that points out that the unrecoverable SCN for file that holds the LOB has to be updated in the control file whenever the LOB is updated. If you actually have a performance problem because of this - i.e.
