ORACLE 9-16 Oracle8 Database Administration Using Block Space Utilization Parameters Oracle data blocks contain Block header Header contains the data block address table directory row directory and transaction slots that are used when transactions make changes to rows in the block. Block headers grow from the top down. Data space Row data is inserted into the block bottom up. Free space The free space in a block is in the middle allowing both the header and the row data space to grow if necessary. The free space in a block is contiguous initially.
