License for Table compression

License is required in Oracle 11g for advanced compression.
For oracle 10g table compression, is the license required?

The licensing guide of Oracle 11.1 makes a distinction between:
Oracle Advanced Compression --> extra cost option on top of EE
Direct-Load Table Compression --> No extra cost option, but requires EE
The admin guide says:
To enable compression for all operations you must use the COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS clause. To enable compression for direct-path inserts only, you use the COMPRESS FOR DIRECT_LOAD OPERATIONS clause. The keyword COMPRESS by itself is the same as the clause COMPRESS FOR DIRECT_LOAD OPERATIONS, and invokes the same compression behavior as previous database releases.
So if you stick to the old way of compressing data (direct load), it is less efficient than the new way (all operations), but it does not require the extra license.

Do we have Table compression in Standard Edition

Hi,
We installed Oracle Version 11g(11.2.0.2) in our Local server and the size of the table is around 11GB. we thought of doing Table Compression. My Question is Are we having This feature in 11g Standard Edition?
Thanks,

Sorry short update...

Query on Oracle Concepts: Table Compression

The attributes for table compression can be declared for a tablespace, table, or table partition. If declared at the tablespace level, then tables created in the tablespace are compressed by default. You can alter the compression attribute for a table, in which case the change only applies to new data going into that table. Consequently, a single table or partition may contain compressed and uncompressed blocks, which guarantees that data size will not increase because of compression. If compression could increase the size of a block, then the database does not apply it to the block.
Can anybody please explain text marked as bold? How can data-size/block-size can increase by compression?

First let's be clear on what is being said. The doc says this:
>
If compression could increase the size of a block, then the database does not apply it to the block.
>
That is misleading because, of course, the size of the block can't change. You should really read that as
>
If compression could increase the size of the data being stored in a block, then the database does not apply it to the block.
>
There is overhead associated with the compression because the metadata that is needed to translate any compressed data back into its original state is stored in the block along with the compressed data.
The simplest analogy (though not a perfect one) is the effect you can get if you try to zip an already highly compressed file.
For example, if you try to use Winzip to compress an image file (jpg, gif, etc) or a video file you can easily wind up with a zip file that is larger than the uncompressed file was to begin with. That is because the file itself hardly compresses at all but the overhead of the zip file adds to the ultimate file size.
I suggest you edit your thread subject since this question is NOT about partitioning.

Check license for advance tech of compression 11g

hw can i check license for oracle 11g advance compression?
plz guide me....
if it is new table we can apply advance tech of compression,
but how can i compress already existed data in the table?

How does your question about compressing already inserted data relate to licensing?
In any case licensing information is here:

11.2 new features for OLTP compression, datapump compression

Hi All,
I am working related to datawarehouse and i am looking forward to impliment 11.2 new OLTP compression features. When i am reading some articles its telling me that i need seperate license for that. What about datapump compression and do i need license for that as well?
Appriciate if some one can share any experience/links about this feature.
I did some testing and it reduced the space nearly 50%. Hope this would be a great feature to look at.
Karunika

If you are working with a data warehouse, why do you want to use the new OLTP compression features? Normally, the older (and free) table compression functionality worked perfectly well for data warehouses.
I believe that DataPump compression is part of the Advanced Compression Option which does require additional licensing. Straight table compression has been available for a while, though, does not require an additional license (beyond the enterprise edition, not sure if it's available in standard) and is generally ideal for data warehouses.

Advanced Table Compression Create Table with LOBs

Hi,
I need some help with the Advanced Table Compression when creating a table especially when they contain a LOB.
Here are 3 examples:
Exp#1
CREATE TABLE emp (
      emp_id NUMBER,
      first_name VARCHAR2(128),
      last_name VARCHAR2(128)
) COMPRESS FOR OLTP;
This one is ok - all elements are compressed.
Exp#2
CREATE TABLE photos (
      photo_id NUMBER,
      photo BLOB)
      LOB(photo) STORE AS SECUREFILE (COMPRESS LOW);
This one I am confused - is it just the LOB(photo) that is compressed or the whole table. If it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
I also assume that the LOB is being stored in the default tablespace associated with this table - correct me if I am wrong!
Exp#3
CREATE TABLE images (
      image_id NUMBER,
      image BLOB)
      LOB(image) STORE AS SECUREFILE (TABLESPACE lob_tbs COMPRESS);
This one I am confused - I think it is telling me that LOB(image) is being compresses and stored in tablespace lob_tbs and the other elements are being stored uncompressed in the default tablespace.
Again if it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
Thanks & regards

DataSource for table VEKP/VEKO

Hi,
We have reporting requirement for "Handling Unit that shows in-stock inventory for each GL storage location". We have identified that all the relevant information is available in Shipping tables VEKP and VEKO. We have checked business content for the relevant DataSource but didnt find any helpful information.
Can someone suggest which data sources provides the data from table VEKP/VEKO .
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Dev

Hi Devandra,
SAP provides the following 2 Data sources
0DF_IS_DFS_65 (VEKP) and 0DF_IS_DFS_66 (VEPO)
But these are part of an industry solution SAP Defence Forces & Public Security 6.10. Unless you have the license for this you cannot utilize these 2 Data sources.
Till then create Generic Data sources on top of these 2 tables and load it as full. You can also create Generic Delta Data sources (but not sure whether they will work properly - u need to test them out). You may have to search for the document on how to do this on BW Expert online.
Thanks

ISE license for TrustSec

Hello,
I want to know does ISE with Plus-License support TrustSec features ? On the TrustSec 5.0 document, it is mentioned that you must have ISE Advance-License for TrustSec support. but on other-hand on ISE Licensing-datasheet it is written Plus-License (Provides context about endpoints for more detailed access policies). as per bellow table:
ISE License Package
Focus
Perpetual/Subscription (Terms Available)
Notes
Base
Secured access
Perpetual
Plus
Provides context about endpoints for more detailed access policies
Subscription (1, 3, or 5 years)
Does not include Base services; Base licenses are required to install Plus licenses.
Advanced

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/datasheet-c78-730772.html
Please let me know should I order Advanced or Plus License? if Plus has this capability will be good for me because of its License pricing
Thanks,

At the beginning, there were only the Base- and Advanced licenses. There you needed Advanced for nearly everything that goes beyond basic Authentication and Authorization. In newer versions (starting 1.2.1 and one of ne newer 1.2.0 patch-levels), the plus license was introduced. And many Advanced-features were moved to Plus. As you will probably directly start with a newer version where the new licenses are used, you'll be fine with "Plus".

Table Compression in 9.2.0.1

Dear All,
I need to use table compression. Could you please suggest some ideas from your practice?
I tried to load 545 mb text file into database and compress it. the result of compression is not such significant I expected. I got 456 MB table. pctfree was set to 0.
As I know oracle compresses data on Database block level.
What happens if I sort text file? Will this increase the compression ratio? I mean duplicate rows will be located in same block.
Sincerely,
giviut

Not having access to a 9i R2 database I have not been able to try this for myself. However, you may find this OTN article helpful: http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/poess_tablecomp.html

DVMC Saving Potential for table COEP

Hello All,
i am curious to know the answer for the below interesting topic.
We have implemented the Solution Manager DVMC tool for few production systems. After we setup the query and BPM to analyze the saving potential calculation for the few of the table as per the DVM Sizes growth below question applies.
The Saving potential for table COEP, MSEG (for system like 4.7 systems) says to do the deletion potential. For example, the table last analysis 146.149,000 and out of that the deletion potential = 146.093,987
So based on the saving potential, we want to make a strategy looking at the deletion potential operational possibilities. However, looking at the SAP standard best practice documentation, we see the table like MSEG and COES u201Cdeletion cannot be usedu201D which is quite contradictory towards the report result in the DVMC report for saving potential.
I believe, there should be some reason, the Table analysis says about the deletion potential for these tables. I must curious to know the reason for the same.
Can anybody also explain how we can use the DVMC report either for Saving Potential or archiving potential in the operational activity? Like after we find the result, according to deletion potential, which records to be deleted etc.
Regards,
Shashi

Hello Shashi,
I wouldn't delete any table even if DVMC recommends so. I don't know your DB vendor but most of them (like DB2) offers table compression for saving spaces.

Oracle table compression

Can you please explain - how oracle compression works - It would be really good if things will be explained with examples - also would be very use if you post some useful links ...

Not necessarily true. Envision a table where you have 7 years worth of data (say for auditing purposes) partitioned monthly with only the current month being actively DML'd, the rest are for all intents and purposes read only and compressed.

Oracle 10g: Table Compress

Guys,
I was reading an article about table compression that I was reading for data warehousing environment.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/db/10g/pdf/twp_data_compression_10gr2_0505.pdf
I didnt understand couple of things like
Oracle’s compression algorithm is based upon eliminating duplicate values in each block - what does eliminating duplicate values in each block mean
ALTER TABLE ... MOVE COMPRESS works in 10g what is its equivalent in Oracle 9i.
Also is there a concept of table compression in Oracle 9i
Any inputs/suggestions would help
Thanks

what does eliminating duplicate values in each block meanThat a compression method. Have only once the same info. That doesn't drop from the table duplicate rows. Important phrase is here :
"Duplicate values in all the rows and columns in a block are stored once at the beginning of the block, in what is called a symbol table for that block. All occurrences of such values are replaced with a short reference to the symbol table."
Also is there a concept of table compression in Oracle 9iThere is such thing :

10gR2 Table Compression Question

I have a very large table (560GB, 12billion records) which I would like to compress.
This table has 6 partitions (range partition) and 24 subpartitons for each partition (hash partition)
Data in this table is never deleted (obviously). Data is inserted daily via bulk load (SqlLoader)
Please make recommendations on how to compress using 10g compression.
Thank you,
Larry

Thank you,

The first thing you should do is fully document the business requirements you plan to implement. That document should include:
1. why you are compressing data - which you haven't told us by the way.
2. what data you intend to compress - new data? existing data? both?
3. to what extent is the data updated or deleted? and to what extent are 'normal' (i.e. not direct-path) INSERTs done?
4. what compression options are available - basic? advanced?
5. how you plan to TEST your compression options and validate the savings and problems with each of them. That testing should include deletes and updates.
6. how you plan to do the compression - online? in an outage windows? over one month and one subpartition at a time? other?
7. what your 'fallback' plan is if you need to undo part or all of the compression.
8. any opportunities for archiving older, unneeded data. If you plan to compress the existing data you need to move it so now is the time to offload any older, unneeded data.
For basic compression Oracle does NOT compress existing data in place. That means if you want the existing data compressed you need to MOVE it; and that means moving 560GB of data. If you want to compress new data you need to use BULK inserts; that means 'direct-path' inserts.
If you just want to start compressing new data you can do that fairly quickly since no existing data needs to be moved.
Don't even begin an operation like compression on a large table without a good requirements doc as suggested above.

Table Compression with LOBs

Hi,
I need some help with the Advanced Table Compression when creating a table especially when they contain a LOB.
Here are 3 examples:
Exp#1
CREATE TABLE emp (
      emp_id NUMBER,
      first_name VARCHAR2(128),
      last_name VARCHAR2(128)
) COMPRESS FOR OLTP;
This one is ok - all elements are compressed.
Exp#2
CREATE TABLE photos (
      photo_id NUMBER,
      photo BLOB)
      LOB(photo) STORE AS SECUREFILE (COMPRESS LOW);
This one I am confused - is it just the LOB(photo) that is compressed or the whole table. If it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
I also assume that the LOB is being stored in the default tablespace associated with this table - correct me if I am wrong!
Exp#3
CREATE TABLE images (
      image_id NUMBER,
      image BLOB)
      LOB(image) STORE AS SECUREFILE (TABLESPACE lob_tbs COMPRESS);
This one I am confused - I think it is telling me that LOB(image) is being compresses and stored in tablespace lob_tbs and the other elements are being stored uncompressed in the default tablespace.
Again if it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
Thanks & regards
