If you are talking about using compressed tablespace datafiles, such as on MS-$$$$ compressed drives, it is usually frowned upon. This is because ORACLE has no way to know how much room a tablespace actually has on its disk. If you create a 100MB tablespace datafile, store 50MB in it that is stored compressed to 20MB on the drive, when oracle trys to write another 50MB to it, the additional space may not be there.
