Basic process in compression - SQL Server 2008

-> Assume you have a column of data on a single page of rows that contain values like
1. Run
2. Running
3. Runner
4. Runoff
5. Runover
-> There's quite a bit of redundant data 'prefixing‘ each of the rows in this column.
-> Prefix value of ‘Run' as 1 and each column ending up with pointers to that prefix
value - resulting in values like 1, 1ning, 1ner, 1off, 1over.
-> The prefix value 1’s definition is stored in the CI structure.
-> By this compression process 30%(approx) of the space is saved when compared with
storing the original data as such.
