Fwd: Re: HCC in Pillar Storage

The HCC is usually done by the storage; if the storage decides not to do so (e.g. due to CPU load), it will pass the blocks uncompressed and it's then job of the database to uncompress them. So Oracle does not support HCC on non-Exadata/Pillar, but it could do so, but with performance hit.
