Joel, did you research it enough to find any bug #'s on this issue? I've
done some basic testing with it and haven't run into this issue but I'd
rather not with production either. But we're moving to 10.2.0.4.
Thanks.
Brian

Re: Table compression experience?
I had a client with a Data Warehouse that used it on 10.2.0.3 with disastrous results. They used Microstrategy as a front end. Data was occasionally and repeatably corrupted for no conceivable reason. Oracle could not explain it. When we rebuilt the tables without compression the corruption disappeared. Rebuild it again with compressin and voila, corruption. This issue alone delayed migration to a new platform for a newly merged, national conglomerate for months. I talked the merged IT department into going with Oracle instead of DB2 (an easy task) and we all (Oracle proponents) ended up with a black eye for our trouble. I am no longer with the company that supported that client as a result of their moral turpitude (nothing to do with this issue) so I don't know how / if they eventually resolved it.
