Hi.
I have a Data Warehouse type application which uses very large files with lots of fields (Typically 130 fields in each table)

These have always been set up as N(13,2), and they take up a lot of space
(If I zip them I can get 90 % reduction)

I;m wondering if I use some of the other data types will they:
1. Increase Processing speed
(These are updated regulalrly)
2. Reduce the size of the tables

Regards,

Gerard
