Hi,

Don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I thought I would give 
it a try.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any databases which deal with 
data duplication (at a low level). Say I have two (or ten) identical 
records, does anyone know of any databases which would only keep one 
copy of the data and use references for the other records? Does this 
work if 7 out of the 8 columns (for instance) are identical (ie the 
primary key is different but everything else is identical). Do such db's 
exist? Or do they all do this? Or am I just dreaming?
