It is a design change because your redesigning the table DDL.
But in my experience the only snag you can run into is if there's a process that drops and recreates the table and doesn't use the new
compression DDL.
My only real concern when I implemented this was "CREATE tablename AS" statements that exist within the system I work on... And they
carried the compression over from table to table just fine.
God Luck!
