Fillvalues

G'Day

Currently fillvalues are physically inserted into missing records
(unless I am doing something wrong). This usually means a great
deal of wasted disc space. Is there the possibility to just add
a reference to filled records, and the actual fill value to be used,
instead of physically inserting the fillvalues ? This situation
would be similar to what standard RDMS's such as Oracle and Sybase
do in this respect.
