Hi all,
My application uses a database to store big blobs (0.5 - 1 Gb). I have
a List of a class Sample that I store in a blob. Since the blob can
become very big I want to use compression.
The class Sample contains a lot of properties. When I store the List
of samples only a few of the properties are used. Does it makes sense
to make a class sampleSimple that only contains the properties I use
for database storage and thus save storage space?
Is it possible to first compress the blob and then store it in the
database? Does .NET provides such functionality?
Many thanks in advance.
Stijn
