Disks are cheap, especially somebody else is paying for them.

Bingo!

I just got an email from Oracle corp about how 11g can lower storage
costs by 10x. Clicking on the link goes to a marketing page which
includes this bullet point:

Compress all types of data to minimize storage requirements

But the stupid page overwrites "storage requirements" with a button to
"FIND OUT MORE". So it tells me:

"Compress all types of data to minimize FIND OUT MORE"

I always thought we used databases to maximize finding out things. I
guess less is more these days.

Joel, you must be reading my mind. Look at the subject named
"Compression" that I just started. As for your idea about maximizing, I
do not subscribe to the "big is beautiful" principle. I don't subscribe
to "size doesn't matter", either. We're talking about compression, of
course.

I'd settle for 10g compressing partitioned tables.
Unfortunately, it doesn't.
Or at least: it didn't the ones I threw at it.
Which BTW compressed fine while not partitioned...

Ah well: I'm sure 11gRsomething-or-other solves all that!...

For a small price, of course.
