Oracle Database Advanced Compression

Oracle Advanced Compression

Advanced Compression, an option introduced in Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, offers a comprehensive set of compression capabilities to help organizations reduce costs, while maintaining or improving performance. It significantly reduces the storage footprint of databases through compression of structured data (numbers, characters) as well as unstructured data (documents, spreadsheets, XML and other files). It provides enhanced compression for database backups and also includes network compression capabilities for faster synchronization of standby databases.

Key Benefits
  • 2-4X reduction in storage across all environments such as production, standby, test, development, backup, etc.
  • Improved memory efficiency as data remains compressed in memory
  • Minimal or no performance impact on DML operations due to performance optimized compression technology
  • Faster queries in many cases, due to improved I/O and memory efficiency
  • Better network bandwidth utilization
  • Transparent to applications - no application changes required
