Thanks, that is helpful. It would be good to capture this (and any other technical advantages) in the KB page itself. On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 3:44 AM, Jan Lindström <jan.lindstrom@skysql.com> wrote:
Hi,
We had a customer request to increase the page size for uncompressed pages to allow more blob fields in a table. This request is satisfied by this implementation. While I was doing this enhancement, I did try to increase the page size for compressed pages also but this proved too hard for time constraints I had. I did try to discuss about the problems with only person I know who really knows how compressed pages storage format is implemented (Marko Mäkelä) but unfortunately, I did not get it to work with limited help I received. As soon as I have again time, I will revisit this issue and see what I can do.

I'm curious as to the reasoning behind this feature. I assumed it was to get better compression, but the kb page <https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-documentation/mariadb-storage-engines/xtradb-and-innodb/xtradbinnodb-storage-formats/> states that compression will not be supported on the new 32K and 64K page size.
