Database block sizes
The default block size in the OpenEdge RDBMS is 4096 bytes for Windows and Linux.
To change the database block size, you must perform a dump of the data and load it into a database with a new structure. The dump and load can be done with PROUTIL DUMP and PROUTIL LOAD in your current version of OpenEdge.
