Hi,

I am using compress partition for a large table.During the process I have used the below command for compress---

1. ALTER TABLE <TABLE_NAME> MODIFY PARTITION P1 COMPRESS;

However I found there are different command as below:-

2. ALTER TABLE <TABLE_NAME> MOVE PARTITION P1 COMPRESS;

What is the basic difference between these two as the compression is happening for both command.

Regrads-

The first one allows compression for the future.
The second one activates the compression and compress the current data.

I have 10,000 rows at P1 partition.
If I use ---
ALTER TABLE <TABLE_NAME> MODIFY PARTITION P1 COMPRESS; it will compress data from 10001 th rows.The previous 10000 th rows will be un-compressed.

And if I use the second one----
ALTER TABLE <TABLE_NAME> MOVE PARTITION P1 COMPRESS; it will compress 10000 th rows as well as the current data.

Am I currect?


Thanks-
P

Yes and no.
Yes, in the principle.
No, in the example. In 10g, compression happens on direct load not on single insert.
