JDE 9.1 upgrade - can all tables be compressed for OLTP via Oracle Advanced Compression Option?
I’m a DBA supporting a JDE 9.1 upgrade and plan to use Oracle Advanced Compression to compress all of the DTA/CTL tables after the initial installation as I’ve done in the past. This has saved a significant amount of database space and have had no issues with this implementation for the past year.
Per Oracle White Paper “Oracle Advanced Compression with Oracle Database 12c, Oct. 2014 “The general recommendation is to compress all the tables in the database with one exception: if the table is used as a queue, i.e. rows are inserted into the table, then later most or all of the rows are deleted, then more rows are inserted then deleted, then you shouldn't compress the table.”
