Subject: RE: Function to compress text, not encrypt
If you want to simulate table compression in the standard edition, you could certainly write your own compression routine. There are any number of compression algorithms out there that are pretty well documented.
Of course, make sure that you compare the costs (development, maintenance, and performance) of doing your own compression rather than spending money to just buy an enterprise edition license.

Thanks Maryann
Number, and if possible strings.
The point is that standar edition don't have the compress features for
tables.
