Issue:
We are having some performance issues with our Finance Peoplesoft database. One of the suggestions is to modify our index spaces and possibly tablespaces from 8k blocks to 16k for the larger tables. Is there any reason we should not do this? We originally installed with the Peoplesoft defaults, but are thinking we may get some performance improvement by increasing the block size.
