Advanced Compression in Oracle

 Advanced Compression in Oracle

Advanced Compression is a feature in Oracle Database that provides additional compression algorithms and options to reduce storage requirements and improve performance. Advanced Compression can be used with any data type and can be applied to tables, indexes, and other database objects. Here is an example:

ALTER TABLE sales COMPRESS FOR OLTP;

This statement applies the OLTP compression algorithm to the "sales" table, which is designed for online transaction processing workloads. The compression reduces the amount of storage required by the table and can improve query performance.
