Firebird3 compression

The forum for ZeosLib 7.2 Report problems. Ask for help, post proposals for the new version and Zeoslib 7.2 features here. This is a forum that will be edited once the 7.2.x version goes into RC/stable!!

My personal intention for 7.2 is to speed up the internals as optimal a possible for all IDE's. Hope you can help?! Have fun with testing 7.2

Firebird3 compression

Post by duzenko »

Hi all,

It seems that the firebird3 driver in zeoslib is just a copy of firebird25 which means no real protocol updates?
The one that interests me is the new compression feature introduced in firebird3

Can you maybe point me to delphi firebird components supporting ver3 compression?

Hello duzenko,

Zeos 7.2-testing from the SVN should now support wire compression. Check out the latest 7.2-tesing SVN version and add wirecompression=true to the Zconnection properties. As I don't know of any simple way to check wether wire compression really happens I just implemeted it the way it is suggested in the FB 3.0RC2 release notes. Unfortunately firebird.conf and the release notes have different opinions on what the prequisites for successful compression are. It might be necessary for you to enable compression on the server side too.

With best regards,

Jan
