Sorry for the pronoun confusion (mutlitasking problem on my end!). The
functionality I referred to was the ability to do on-the-fly compression
using common utilities supplied by the OS vendor (e.g. "compress", "gzip",
or "bzip2").
In creating datapump, Oracle effectively broke the ability to do on-the-fly
compression for exports. 10gR2 added compression, but only for the
metadata. And 11g adds the ability to compress actual data on-the-fly, but
from examples found with Google, it seems to be using a fixed algorithm,
which prevents the customer from being able to choose an algorithm
appropriate to the task (CPU vs compression using the aforementioned OS
compression utilities). AND they charge the low low introductory price of
$11500 PER CPU for this??!??
I could be wrong about the fixed compression algorithm, but the Oracle docs
have been inaccessible most of the day.
It's a good day to vent.
