I am looking into doing some table compression on my warehouse database to free up some space on the os. I am running 9.2.0.4 on Unix 5.1. The compression is about 2.5:1 on my tables. The documentation says the bulk insert time will be doubled but the single inserts, updates, and deletes are going to be a wash. Does anyone use compression? Are there any problems you notice in the use of it? I have also read that the table will need to be re-compressed after the bulk inserts. Any alternative ideas about getting this done?

Thanks in advance,

LeRoy
