I'm not sure if it is possible to do this natively in MySQL; I'll let
someone else answer that.
You could perform compression at the filesystem level independent of
MySQL; make a partition on your disk that is stored compressed (check your
operating system manuals to determine how to do this; I don't know), and
then MySQL would be able to read and write, and it would be compressed.
However, performance will suffer.
