ORA-00058 DB_BLOCK_SIZE must be string to mount this database (not string)

Cause: The value of the DB_BLOCK_SIZE initialization parameter used to start

this database does not match the value used when that database was created.

Potential reasons for this mismatch are:

1. mounting the wrong database

2. using the wrong initialization parameter file

3. the value of the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter was changed

Action: For one of the above causes, either:

1. mount the correct database

2. use the correct initialization parameter file

3. correct the value of the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter
