Hello,

is there a way to have berkelydb compress the data when storing it and
uncompress when retrieving? using some compression algorithm? or is
that left for us to do?

I'm using the C api, I'm planning storing ~25Kb structs in there but
the final db is too large. i was thinking about reducing the struct
size by using bitfields int he struct. but it I'm thinking it would be
easier to use some kind of compression instead.

I'm looking at using zlib.h then storing the data in berkelydb.

Sounds ideal. There is no built-in way to compress data.

Hi,
i try use bzip2 or zlib or lzo and for 1-2kb entry has best use zlib or
lzo compression. Now i use zlib compression but zlib put 96byte header
for every entry.
