Hello,

Here is a tFileArchivecomponent. This component creates a new zip, gzip, or tar.gz archive file from one or more specified files or folders, and the archive file can be compressed using different compression method.

In addition, you can use tSystem component to call other processing commands(winRaR, 7 zip).

Hi Sabrina,

I have a Big data appliance and i want to archive the data on it to a commodity storage,  i want the archived data to sit on a Live database hosted in a commodity storage,  the applications will also connect to the archived data occasionally (reason why the archived data needs to be in a live database)

the plan is to reduce storage costs by compressing data on the commodity storage,

how can i compress data in the commodity storage.

I have an option to use Oracle Advanced compression but there is no budget for that , is there another solution available - the database is Oracle database

regards

The best approach here is to have your OS or database natively compress the data.   You can also look at enabling compression through the OS for the datafiles on disk, but know that this will slow down your data read/write to that database.
