Is there any specific enhancements in SQL Server 2012 for Data Compression Feature?
Last time I checked SQL Server 2008 R2 introduced support for Unicode characters so columns with NCHAR
data types (excepts CLOBS and BLOBS) can now take advantage of compression technology in SQL Server.
"SQL 2008 R2 introduced support for Unicode characters"
-- what?n[var]char
columns could not be compressed in 2008, which didn't make sense. So 2008 R2 added additional compression on these column types, correct? I was unaware of that.
