Omer Trajman of column-store DBMS vendor Vertica put up a must-read blog spelling out detailed compression numbers, based on actual field experience (which I'd guess is from a combination of production systems and POCs): • CDR - 8:1 (87%) It's clear what Omer means by most of those categories from reading the post, but I'm a little fuzzy on what "Consumer Data" or "Marketing Analytics" comprise in his taxonomy. Anyhow, Omer's post is a huge improvement over my recent one — based on a conversation with Omer — which featured far less accurate and complete compression numbers. Omer goes on to claim that trickle-feed data is harder for rival systems to compress than it is for Vertica, and generally to claim that Vertica's compression is typically severalfold better than that of competitive row-based systems.
