I do not recommend it. Two reasons: A) If you copy the file you get an uncompressed result. This is because most functions do not know the file is compressed. They try to read the file block by block and the operating system automatically hands them uncompressed blocks. So if you copy your file to a Flash Drive or back it up, you end up with the big version. B) Macs are moving, or have already moved, away from HFS+ to APFS. Although HFS+ compressed files seem to work without problems in APFS Apple has not announced support for this feature. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
