53.You want to use RMAN to create compressed backups. 
Which statement is true about the compression algorithms that RMAN can use? 
A. The BZIP2 compression algorithm consumes more CPU resources than the ZLIB compression 
algorithm. 
B. The ZLIB compression algorithm consumes more CPU resources than the BZIP2 compression 
algorithm. 
C. The ZLIB compression algorithm provides maximum compression and produces smaller backups than 
the BZIP2 compression algorithm. 
D. Only the BZIP2 compression algorithm can be used to make compressed backups to disk. 
Answer: A 

有种说法：默认的压缩是 BZIP2。另外一种支持的压缩方式是 ZLIB。相比前者, ZLIB 压缩率不高，不过处理速度快。

但我查到的现象不一样

Basic Compression Option

You can configure the basic compression algorithm, which does not require the Advanced Compression Option, with the following syntax:

Example 6-2 Configuring Basic Compression for Backup

CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'BASIC';

Advanced Compression Option

If you have enabled the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Advanced Compression Option, you can choose from the following compression levels:

Compression Level	Performance Benefits and Trade-Offs
HIGH	Best suited for backups over slower networks where the limiting factor is network speed.
MEDIUM	Recommended for most environments. Good combination of compression ratios and speed.
LOW	Least effect on backup throughput.

The compression ratio generally increases from low to high, with a trade-off of potentially consuming more CPU resources.

Because the performance of the various compression levels depends on the nature of the data in the database, network configuration, system resources and the type of computer system and its capabilities, Oracle cannot document universally applicable performance statistics. Which level is best for your environment depends on how balanced your system is regarding bandwidth into the CPU and the actual speed of the CPU. It is highly recommended that you run tests with the different compression levels on the data in your environment. Choosing a compression level based on your environment, network traffic characteristics (workload), and data set is the only way to ensure that the backup set compression level can satisfy your organization's performance requirements and applicable service level agreements.
