Yup, that's what we were planning, but there are a few problems with
this:
1) the compression is in htword which is a shared library. the dump
program (db_dump) and the load program (db_load) will change
compression versions if you change the compression. A solution would
be to keep statically linked version of these 2 programs...
2) Wer'e planning to use BIG databases. If the dumped (uncompressed)
version is 8x bigger ... well it won't fit on disk.
Anyways I think it's not too hard to find a solution for this problem,
it's just that I don't have time for it right now, there are loads of
other urgent things waiting. Unless it is really an urgent need from
users I think this can wait for a few weeks.
Cheers,
Marcel.
