Really very nice question. Gets the mind thinking about the internal storage and is a very, very important consideration for capacity planning.

I got it right, but I must admit that it was only because of two points:

1. I am currently trying to understand database compression

2. I just read about this in Books On Line (It's hardly been two days!)

Great question, great discussion sure to follow! I am looking forward to following the entire thread.

Have a wonderful rest-of-the-day!
