Abstract

A workload specification is obtained for the database. Based on the workload specification, candidate ones of the tables are identified and ranked. Compression impact is evaluated for the candidate ones of the tables. A design for the database is developed, specifying at least one of: (i) which of the tables should be compressed, and (ii) which of the tables should not be compressed.
