What is SQL Compress?

You have probably stored Binary Large Objects (BLOBS) in SQL Server, and
more than likely you have wonder why they couldn't be compressed.
SQLCompress.NET is about to change all that by providing a fast and reliable
solution for column level compression in Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
SQLCompress.NET was born from requests posted in Microsoft SQL Server
forums and message boards. It was designed as a compression framework for
server side compression, allowing developers and administrators to reduce
database footprint without writing a line of code.
Some of the advantages of SQLCompress.NET are:

  • It is FAST and SAFE!
  • It does not require application changes
  • It is a framework. SQLCompress.NET allows developers to extend its
    functionality with minimum effort and takes away the burden of writing
    a compression infrastructure

Which compression implementation should I use?
Written by SQLCompress.NET Support

SQLCompress.NET provides several implementations:

  • Fast Deflate (recommended): This implementation is VERY fast with very little overhead.
  • Base or Benchmark: This implementation should NOT be used for compression. This is included for benchmarking purposes ONLY. It allows developers to determine how much overhead their compression libraries add to an implementation. The implementation does not compresses anything but does add block and compression headers increasing LOB size.

We recommend the use of Fast Deflate for compression purposes and Basic (or Benchmark) for comparison purposes.

Improving Data Transfer With SQLCompress.NET
Written by SQLCompress.NET Support

Microsoft SQL Server provides three types of replication as a synchronization mechanism: Snapshot, Transactional and Merge replication. All these replications deliver transactions or snapshots to remote servers over a LAN or WAN. This can be bandwidth intensive which in turn delays the synchronization process.

SQLCompress.NET allows compression on variable length columns (not only blobs) reducing bandwidth usage and improving performance by:

  • Reducing the amount of replicated data
  • Reducing snapshot size
  • Reducing disk utilization
