"Compressing" a large datasets

[Hon Yuen, Ng]

Hi

I have a dataset that stores quite a lot of data from database and I
need to transfer this over network with slow connection.

May i know is it possible to "compress" the dataset in whatever way so
that the transfer can be done faster? If it is possible, can you give me
some hints?

Thanks in advance.
