In case the PG group does get interested in insertion of compression algorithms into PostgreSQL {it seems it could be useful in many different areas}, the 7zip format seems to be excellent in a number of ways. Here is an interesting benchmark that shows 7z format winning a large area of the "optimal compressors" performance graph: http://users.elis.ugent.be/~wheirman/compression/ The LZMA SDK is granted to the public domain: http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html Unfortunately LZOP (which wins the top half of the "optimal compressors" graph where the compression and decompression speed is more important than amount of compression) does not have a liberal license. http://www.lzop.org/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
