Hey .. the compressed value is stored in the index, not the uncompressed (plain) .. keeps the index small, but you need cpu cycles to uncompress the data, if you access them or want to sort by them.. i guess it depends on the size of the data you want to store, typical queries, the size of your index and maybe the speed of your hard disk :) Ben _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
