What is data block in Oracle?

Answer Posted / Akash Kumar Misra

A Data Block is a fixed-size unit of storage in Oracle Database. Each data block typically contains multiple rows from one or more tables, depending on the table's structure and block size settings. Data blocks are essential for efficient data management because they reduce I/O operations by caching frequently accessed data within the SGA (System Global Area). When a user queries data, the database first checks if the required data block is in the buffer cache; if not, it reads the data block from disk into the buffer cache.
