Hi Jim,
can you explain more about your algorithm for "self-describing value encoding" ?
I'm interesting in this.

Thank you Slavek

I'm been using a self-describing value encoding for a decade and a half.
It's denser and cheaper to compress and decompress than the existing run
length encoding, though I'm not sure that compressing version delta would
be a lot of fun, but probably some clever fellow can think of a good
algorithm.

Hi,
for FB3 I will recomend more effective algoritm than hacking this current
one.
If you are interested, I can specify.

I was made another test with release build windows 64 bit and results:

DB size decrese from 90GB -> 60 GB.
Some select count(*) from table like this one:

Create Table ProductDataEx  (
     idProduct TLongInt NOT NULL,
     idMeasurand Smallint NOT NULL,
     idMeasurementMode TSmallInt NOT NULL,
     ValIndex Smallint Default 0 NOT NULL,
     idPeople TSmallInt NOT NULL,
     tDate TimeDateFutureCheck NOT NULL,
     Value1 Double precision NOT NULL,
     Description TMemo,
Constraint pk_ProductDataEx Primary Key (idProduct,idMeasurand,
idMeasurementMode,ValIndex)
);

Decrease from ~150s(any run) -> 52s for first run and 36s another run.

This modifycation can read old DB, but after write, previous server will
failed.
So, if I can I will vote to 2.5.4 (FB3 is so far).

Also I was made some speed optimization, this version is faster, then
previous one.

If somebody else is interesting in this, I can put my private buid for
Win64 on my web site.

Best regards Slavek

I didn't look at the code closely, but the idea is more or less the same
as I was considering for CORE-4401. I just wanted to use the control
char of zero for that purpose, as it's practically useless for either
compressible or non-compressible runs.

The new encoding affects the ODS, so it cannot be used in the v2.5
series (it may be possible with ODS 11.3 but I don't think we need a
minor ODS change in v2.5). But it surely could be applied to v3 after
review and we don't have to worry about backward compatibility in ODS 12.
