SQL$HELP72.HLB  —  CREATE  TABLE  Arguments  COMPRESSION_IS
    Syntax options:

    COMPRESSION IS ENABLED | COMPRESSION IS DISABLED

    Specifies whether run-length compression is enabled or disabled
    for rows inserted into the base or temporary table.

    In some cases, the data inserted into a table may not compress
    and so incur only overhead in the row. This overhead is used
    by Rdb to describe the sequence of uncompressible data. Use
    COMPRESSION IS DISABLED to prevent Rdb from attempting the
    compression of such data.

    Any storage map which specifies the ENABLE COMPRESSION or DISABLE
    COMPRESSION clause will override this setting in the table.

    The COMPRESSION IS clause is not permitted for INFORMATION
    tables.

    The default is COMPRESSION IS ENABLED.
