Data compression i DB2

Hi,

I have IBM DB2 UDB v7 installed on W2k.
Is it possible to compress tables with data.
I searched Internet and haven't found any solution.

Thanks in advance,

Not in V7 - btw V7 goes out of support in a few weeks (I believe at end
of August).

Db2 V8.2 will have table compression available - it should be released
this year.

On Windows you may consider CFS (Compressed File System) as an alternative.
Pozdrowienia,

V7 is going out of support in a few weeks (end of August). V8 is
current one (A new version V8.2 a.k.a Stinger should be released this
year).
V8 gradually introduces several enhancements in compression of data
stored on disk, namely null and default compression, value compression.
Future enhancements may include table compression as well.
Viable alternative to be considered on Windows OS is to use CFS
(Compressed File System).
Pozdrowienia,
