    After using row/page/index compression in SQL 2008 DB, I noticed that DB size is increased. Before compression the DB size was 69 GB. After row compression on all tables, size increased to 73GB. Please explain.

    Check in the GUI to make sure that they are compressed. Then check that compression will compress. Compression does not always lead to data savings, especially row compression. It's very dependent on the data that is being compressed.
