sql server 2008 Data Compression

Hi experts, i am studying sql server 2008, but i do not undertand this points:
1. ROW compression enables storing fixed length types in variable length format
2. PAGE compression is built on top of ROW compression (Column Prefix and Page Level Dictionary)
3. Compression comes with additional CPU cost
Please, i need examples very clear

Mark Wills,

Understood.  Up until this thread, it was commonly assumed that a link along with information implied  that the information presented was taken from the supplied link.  For most using the "interwebs" ;)  that is simply common logic.  As far as allowing the link to speak for itself,  providing a snippet of the text is more a courtesy to the asker (and actually is a service to EE) so that relevant information would be present on EE moving forward in the case that the link "dies" in the future.  But again, I understand your concern.

Your point is taken and " "  (quotation marks) will be supplied around the text to ensure that anyone daring enough to challenge copyrights on something this trivial won't have any ground to stand on - well not as much ;)

Purely of curiosity, since I have never seen it done on EE, do Zone Advisors or administrators also provide answers to questions and do they accumulate points?

Thanks!



Thanks Mark!  I didn't realize the advisors/admins were volunteers - I commend everyone's work!  Your explanation and thoroughness is why I have come to love EE and why I continue to advocate on the site's behalf amongst my peers and anyone I come into contact with.

Respectfully!

A pleasure, and hope to share a few more questions with you in the future...
