It looks like we need a new Column Storage option for MAIN, Uncompressed. We have these Column Storage options Plain - inline only, uncompressed Main - inline until external as last resort, compressible External - external, uncompressed Extended - external, compressible
So there is no option for Main, but not compressible... With reference to code... there seems to be no way to skip step 3 /* ---------- * Compress and/or save external until data fits into target length * * 1: Inline compress attributes with attstorage 'x', and store very * large attributes with attstorage 'x' or 'e' external immediately * 2: Store attributes with attstorage 'x' or 'e' external * 3: Inline compress attributes with attstorage 'm' * 4: Store attributes with attstorage 'm' external * ---------- */ Not sure what to call this new option?
