8k is a very common page size, but 4k isn't unheard of. Oracle's default is 4k.

The issue is that page size caps row size (for on-row storage). Also, if you have a smart clustering index, larger pages can be more efficient use of index addressing. So it's a trade-off.




Oracle defaults to 8k as well:
