    COMPRESSING LARGE TABLES

    Is it possible to compress the large tables in the database,

    like COMPRESS, ARCHIVE options we use to reduce the size of files
    stored on any operating system.

    I know there is a difference between the file stored on disk and the table created in the database, but currently I am facing space problems wherein, I have to manage my database within the space available, so please advice me if the option is available in SQL Server 6.5 or 7.
    I will be happy if I get the solution immediatly as currently I am facing this problem and waiting for your reply.
    Thank you
    Amol

    No, but you can move old rows to other place.
