I use it, works great, 60% savings.

Once the table/partition gets flagged "compress", any direct load will be
compressed.

You will get ora-600 if trying to do parallel direct load.

Also can't add a column to a compressed table.

Subject: Table compression



I am looking into doing some table compression on my warehouse database 
to free up some space on the os.  I am running 9.2.0.4 on Unix 5.1.  The 
compression is about 2.5:1 on my tables.  The documentation says the 
bulk insert time will be doubled  but the single inserts, updates, and 
deletes are going to be a wash.  Does anyone use compression?  Are there 
any problems you notice in the use of it?     I have also read that the 
table will need to be re-compressed after the bulk inserts.  Any 
alternative ideas about getting this done? 

Thanks in advance,

LeRoy
