Hi, I'm developing a mobile application which downloads my database so smallest possible database size (i.e. on-disk/footprint) is important.
Currently my database is 41.5MB with indexes and to reduce the download I'm zipping it with max. compression Deflate down to 18.4MB. I noticed I can get it down to 12.1MB using LZMA compression but unfortunately there's no LZMA library for Windows Phone yet... but anyway. I further noticed that if I .dump the SQL to create the database then zip that, the resulting size is just 6.7MB; which got me to thinking that maybe there's some zip-unfriendly padding in the db file format that I could potentially VACUUM away, defragment or otherwise remove as a cleanup operation? I don't really want to reload from SQL on the device so if anyone has any tips about how to optimise the db file for space then I'd be very grateful.
