Sinisa, Thanks for the reply. You may have not seen it yet, but I sent a followup email stating that, after sending my first email, I had discovered mysqld user-defined-functions (which I did not know existed) and then went ahead and coded compress_gz()/decompress_gz() myself, yesterday afternoon, as UDFs in a .so library. In that email I also offered to contribute the code to Mysql AB, if you guys would like to have it. Maybe you would like to offer it in your cntributed software area. Are you interested? If so, email it to you? Sincerely, -- Lester H.
