    CompressionType is used to define how data in the table should be compressed internally to optimize storage and performance.
     
    • None = no compression
    • Row = compresses individual rows
    • Page = compresses full data pages and usually gives better storage savings

    In most Business Central custom tables, developers leave it as default unless the table stores a very large amount of data.
