Compress Flash Recovery Area for Oracle 10g and above

The Flash Recovery Area is the area used by oracle for the storage of archivelogs, backup set and flash back logs. Once defined, this location has limits set on the total size that it can occupy on the disk.

The result is that information (such as logs) need to be cycled through the area more regularly to accommodate (and reclaim) the available space.

HyperBac for Oracle allows you to compress the Flash Recovery Area therefore giving you the ability to hold more data and hence improve the surety of recovery.
