| NT[FS] files aren't "record based"; they're just streams of bytes. I
don't think compression is relevant here. It's up to the application
(like a database) to decide how to implement a record structure and
what to do with variable length records.

| Thanks thats what I thought. Does that mean that the database would
need its own file system driver to handle records?

| I know close to nothing about databases, but to give any structure to
data would be the responsibility of the application, not the file
system.

| I find this particular thread interesting in that, it causes me to pose
a question.
Can not the File System in it's normal operation have an adverse impact
on the operation of the database?
Thus, the question of compression may in fact have a very important
aspect to it from a processing perspective.
