    Does Yukon  have the ability to compress file groups or tables? Has anyoen got any links related to this. Is there any 3rd party software that will compress SQL Server data? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    TIA

    There's no way to compress the data, except putting it on compressed file systems.  Don't EVER do this.  I don't know of any third-part software out there for this either.

    If you want to compress backups, there are all kinds of tools:  SQL LiteSpeed, SQLSafe, SQLZip, etc.  We use LiteSpeed at work.  It works great.
