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:

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?
I don't know if that is the algorithm we use but PostgreSQL will
compress its data within the table.
