Sreejith,

the answer is simple:
No, there is currently no support for data compression in MonetDB.

Having said that, purely to reduce the DB footprint on disk
as well as I/O volume, people have successfully used MonetDB
on top of a compressing file system, as far as I know.

Best,
Stefan

All,



Is there any data compression methods available in MonetDB? What I understand
from I read is, by default MonetDB doesn’t have a compression methods to avoid
the overhead of uncompression while loading the files into memory mapped files.
Is that true? If there is a compression mechanism (alike QUERY HIGH Compression
in Oracle) what is it in here?
