Hi list, How compressible is a typical MySQL database? Is this more dependent on the type of columns used i.e. a lot of text columns as opposed to a lot of columns containing integer values?
The uncompressed size of the database is in the region of about 800-MB. Also will it suffice to only compress the specific sub-directory pertaining to the relevant database below /mysql/ ?
