Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

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.
