PAGE_SIZE

The compressed page size in bytes.

COMPRESS_OPS

The number of times a B-tree page of size PAGE_SIZE has been compressed. Pages are compressed whenever an empty page is created or the space for the uncompressed modification log runs out.

COMPRESS_OPS_OK

The number of times a B-tree page of size PAGE_SIZE has been successfully compressed. This count should never exceed COMPRESS_OPS.

COMPRESS_TIME

The total time in seconds used for attempts to compress B-tree pages of size PAGE_SIZE.

UNCOMPRESS_OPS

The number of times a B-tree page of size PAGE_SIZE has been uncompressed. B-tree pages are uncompressed whenever compression fails or at first access when the uncompressed page does not exist in the buffer pool.

UNCOMPRESS_TIME

The total time in seconds used for uncompressing B-tree pages of the size PAGE_SIZE.
