Compress large tables

  • Hello All,

    I had a 2008 R" server with 16 processors and 36gb of RAM,

    On that one I have several databases, some of them very large ( almost 2TB on SAN )

    Some of the tables are over 300gb without partitioning and I am evaluating the posibility of compress those, but I am not very sure about the increase of the workload, any of you have tried something like this on very large tables like mine?

  • I have not used it however a SQL Skills blog came to mind...here is a good primer backed up with some real-world experience (see comments from readers too): http://www.sqlskills.com/BLOGS/KIMBERLY/post/SQL-Server-2005-and-2008-Compression.aspx
