Additionally, the release supports a new and improved method, COMPRESS FOR OLTP, for table compression aimed at substantial memory savings. Key additions include the "lob2lob" action facilitating the conversion of old LOBs to SecureFile LOBs, and enhanced compression options ("-c|-compress" and "-lc|-lobcompr") specifically designed for reorganization tasks in the BRSPACE tool. Syntax enhancements aim at easing usage and integration with the existing system configurations.
