thank you for your feedback. the tips are designed to be quick and to the point. that particular tip was to show how to enable backup compression. it was never my intention to get into the details of page versus row versus backup compression.

aaron did a wonderful job with his response to some poorly chosen words i used. i felt it was the right thing to do to acknowledge my mistake here as well.

i am far from perfect. but i do appreciate your feedback and will try to take care in the future.

I read your tip, and with all due respect to you, your readers expect a much more detailed tip (probably with some benchmark tests example) than what you authored considering the level of your expertise. Thankfully, Aaron did a great job adding value to the subject of your tip. Don’t take me wrong, I am a great follower of your writing and what you write is seen like a standard of authoring for people like me 🙂
