Data Compression in Oracle

Summary: Oracle introduces relational-data-aware table compression that substantially improves storage efficiency without query overhead. Particularly effective for data warehouses, it can accelerate scans, backup, and recovery while storing several times more historical data. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
