Subj:   Re: Compressing a date column

  I can not seem to get the syntax correct for this compression. I tried:  


     LOAD_DATE DATE FORMAT 'yyyy/mm/dd'
     COMPRESS('2004/02/05','2004/02/10','2004/02/12','2004/02/11','2004/03/09
     '),

  And the same thing without the slashes and neither work. Is DATE compressible?  


You must specify ANSI dates regardless of the Format:

     LOAD_DATE DATE FORMAT 'yyyy/mm/dd'
     COMPRESS(date '2004-02-05', date '2004-02-10', ...
