Hi,

I'd like to know:
1. If it is possible to compress data in the PostgreSQL.
2. What kind of compression, if any, is available in PostgreSQL.
3. If compression is available, what kind of disk space savings can I expect using it.

I'd appreciate it if you can take some time and get me this information.

Thanks,
Salma
