RE: Sybase tool to compress Oracle (5 GB => 1)

Applying "Method R" (been using that a lot today), the real question is "Why?" To fit the DB on an SD card for a PDA? Hmmmm...that gives me an idea...

I wonder what their compression would do to an ACID test. I suppose it would depend on where the compression was happening, whether it's via PL/SQL or an external tool/hack or whatever.

Just thinking aloud...

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if this is off topic. I've been asked to attend a conference call regarding a Sybase product that compresses Oracle databases. I hope to get time to scan the vendors website this weekend and learn more, but just curious if anyone else has heard of this product or is using it? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thx
Brian
