LOBS vs Securefiles

in Database Administration (MOSC) 19 commentsAnswered

Hello All

We have inherited a 19c (19.11.0.0.0) database that has lots of LOBS (BASIC LOBS) with lots of data in it. We do not have the Advanced Compression option / license. Without having the advances compression license we of course cannot utilize the compression features of the secure files. Does securefiles lobs have any standard compression that anyone can use who has E.E or without advanced compression option there will be no difference between a LOB and a SECUREFILE LOB in terms of storage?

Does it make sense to migrate to securefiles from LOBS even IF we dont have the advanced compression option? What are the other benefits that we will get IF we migrate the lobs to securefiles?

Howdy, Stranger!
