If you want to simulate table compression in the standard edition, you could 
certainly write your own compression routine.  There are any number of 
compression algorithms out there that are pretty well documented.

Of course, make sure that you compare the costs (development, maintenance, and 
performance) of doing your own compression rather than spending money to just 
buy an enterprise edition license.

Thanks Maryann
Number, and if possible strings.
The point is that standar edition don't have the compress features for tables.
