I was looking through the online manual, and on this page (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Miscellaneous_functions.html), there is a function called COMPRESS():
COMPRESS(string_to_compress)
compresses a string
mysql> select length(compress(repeat("a",1000)));
+------------------------------------+
| length(compress(repeat("a",1000))) |
+------------------------------------+
| 21 |
+------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)I just installed the 4.1 alpha, and that command throws an error. Is this an error in the docs?
