SQL-managed Storages
SQL-managed storages provide capabilities for binary data compression, storage item sharing and storage metrics capture.
By default, SQL management is active for new projects, except for read-only storage handlers.
For each SQL-managed storage, storage metrics capture is automatically enabled. The index engine configuration determines whether compression and item sharing are active for the respective storage handler.
For the default SQL capabilities, see the introductions to storages in Amazon S3 projects, and to file-based storage handlers.
The database used for storage management is the NGDB database that is installed with the software.
