Hi, Tom!

I've read this section of manual, but I was wondering (problably I did
not fully understand the manual, maybe too technical or just my poor
english suffering here) if there is a way to force all these filed to be
compressed no matter size. I actually have more than 250,000 files in
database with 7Gb on size (about this amount every 6 months).

Thanks,

Edson
