Hai ,

    Read that dictionary encoding occurs in monetdb . so

1) what is dictionary compression technique ?
2) Does it works for strings alone or other data structures too ?
3) I a mailing list it was stated that it works only till the size of the column in 128 MB for older release?
    Is this the same for current release ?
4) Does Monetdb uses any other compression technique ?
5) If yes where can I find the source of it (Precisely , which file in source )


Thanks in advance

regards ,
Pradeep
