Estimate the optimal BLU columnar compression rate by sampling data

A technique is needed to determine optimal data compression rates for BLU columnar tables. Such a utility should estimate the optimal compression rate without and with the new string compression enhancements delivered in Db2 11.5 code stream. In e...
