What should the Oracle Redo Log block size be set to in order to prevent log entries from being misaligned by read-modify-write operations for an Oracle database?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Oracle Redo Log block size is recommended to be set to 8 kB. This is based on the best practices for Oracle 19c Database, where it was found that increasing the size of the Oracle redo logs can improve database performance12. However, it's important to note that not every workload will show significant performance increase when increasing the size of the redo logs. Customers should evaluate the AWR to determine if the redo logs have an associated high number and duration of wait times. If the redo logs show a possible bottleneck, then increasing the size of the redo logs could improve performance2.

I bet the Oracle developers were having a laugh when they came up with these answer choices. 'Let's throw in a 24 kB option, just to see who's paying attention!'

24 kB? That's a bit overkill, don't you think? I'll go with the good ol' 16 kB for this one.

I agree with Heike, a larger block size can help prevent log entries from being misaligned.

But a larger block size like 16 kB can reduce the number of read-modify-write operations and improve performance.

Hmm, 8 kB seems a bit small for the redo log block size. Wouldn't that increase the chance of misalignment?

I think 16 kB is the best option to prevent misaligned log entries. That's what I learned in my Oracle training.
