    Yes, I agree with this. Compression has an effect on the storage but does not change the defined row size.

    But what is the definition for the "defined row size"? Does it include metadata? (Is it a real SQL Server term, or is it just made up?)

    Good point. I could not find a reference to that term so I suspect it is made up so therefore the ambiguity. I started to answer correctly, until I noticed that the question was referring to the "defined row size".
