Is there any option to reduce space usage for varchar type columns when the 
values for some of the columns may be repeated, below is an example dataset:

SYSPLEX           SYSTEM             SUBSYSTEM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEX1                 CA11                      SBS1
PLEX1                 CA11                      SBS2
PLEX1                 CA31                      SBS3
PLEX1                 CA31                      SBS4


this is a very small example dataset but hope it gets the point across that 
what I'm looking for is a way to make h2 store the repeated strings 
"PLEX1", "CA11", "CA31" only once and use internal id's instead to save 
disk space when there any many many rows like this with much more columns. 
Is it possible to do so with some configuration option? I couldn't find 
something like this going through the various documentation or forum posts 
here but may be I missed something.
