Data Compression Conference (DCC '04) Using Column Dependency to Compress Tables Snowbird, Utah March 23-March 25 ISBN: 0-7695-2082-0
Large amounts of business data are kept in tables of fixed-length records. Columns in such a table may be functionally dependent on one another, resulting in low overall information content. This paper shows how to exploit this source of information redundancy to compress table data. Experiments with a wide variety of massive tables including telecom data and stock quotes show that this technique compresses table data well, up to 48:1 or even 100:1 reduction in some cases.
