 This section describes `InnoDB` table compression, which is supported with `InnoDB` tables that reside in [file\_per\_table](glossary.html#glos_file_per_table) tablespaces or [general tablespaces](glossary.html#glos_general_tablespace). Table compression is enabled using the `ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED` attribute with [`CREATE TABLE`](create-table.html) or [`ALTER TABLE`](alter-table.html).
