Does anyone know if SAP MaxDB (7.8) currently offer data compression functionality like DB2 and Oracle do? And if not, are there plans for support this kind of functionality in the near future for SAP MaxDB (7.8 and upwards)? Main goal is to save storage for the DB - especially for DBs larger than 1TB.
As I can see only data compression for backup is being offered - and this is currently even not recommanded (Note 1504667 - SAP MaxDB 7.8: Problems with compressed data backups).
