I have a typical reporting application:
Large report <-- HTTP Compression --> ASP.NET Web Server <-- ??? --> SQL Server 2008
Since I have so much (repetitive) data to send to the client, I would like both network hops to have compression.
Is there a transport-level compression setting for SQL Server?
The standard data transfer is optimized between your DB and application. If you think you really need a more efficient solution, you could build a CLR function inside your SQL Server that will compress your data. That way you will (1) reduce the bandwidth between the websever and db server and (2) via pre-processing inside the db server, you can lower web server processing by just streaming your pre-processed data through your web server and to the Request.
