Compression Wizard Issue

  • HI,

    Today i was using data compression mechanism for one of table contains 6985423 records.

    When i calculated the compression then i got three different values on

    Three clicks(on calculated button)

    compression type Current space Requested compressed space

    Row 379.102 MB 379.158 MB

    Row 379.102 MB 379.207 MB

    Row 379.102 MB 379.102 MB

    Two clicks

    Page 379.102 MB 366.539 MB

    Page 379.102 MB 379.169 MB

  • it's a really tiny difference. never used the wizards - I always actually test on a test server and compare results - suggest you try the same.

  • It'll be making best guesses I suppose - there's always going to be a variation every time I guess.
