Hi,

in a post few years ago [1] Quincey Koziol explained that the VL data is
stored in a "global heap" in
the file, which is not compressed. He also mentioned that a new "fractal
heap" code was being developed (which, I assume, would allow compression of
VL data).

Is there any news on this front? I there a way to compress VL data?

Thanks,
Andrea
