Taking advantage of sparse columns and data compression in SQL 2008.
The above result shows that Page Compression has the best compression rate which is 16% of the original size, and the size of sparse column table is 31%, while row compression is 36%. Data Compression has a nice stored procedure sp_estimate_data_compression_savings which can estiamte the space saving by sampling data into tempdb, and compress the sampled data. The result is listed in “Estimated Saving” column in the table. I will also discuss the changing time later in this blog.
