My apologies if this subject has already been hashed to death, or if
this is the wrong list, but I was wondering if people had seen this paper:
http://www.cwi.nl/htbin/ins1/publications?request=intabstract&key=ZuHeNeBo:ICDE:06
Basically it describes a compression algorithm for tables of a
database. The huge advantage of doing this is that it reduced the disk
traffic by (approximately) a factor of four- at the cost of more CPU
utilization.
Any thoughts or comments?
