Hi all What is the equivalent in unix (more specifically python) to the compress() function.
I am trying to make csv file for use with load data infile and am wondering how to compress the strings that I would usually compress with compress() in a regular sql statement. The field I am writing this into is longblob and I need the compressed version here to be identical to what compress() would do Thanks olaf ----------------------------------------- Confidentiality Notice: The following mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
