If you have a compression ageratum in pl/sql or Java then it would be
possible. Yes, you could use C also, just less portable. I would use clob
since longs are deprecated. It also depends upon what version of Oracle you
have.
If you have a version in Java then I would load the java into the database
(loadjava) and use it in a function. I am assuming you are going to be
orthagonal about this (compress and uncompress).
