Hi to everybody,

I m using H2 for a project where one of the functions is to store text
of a size 100-2000 characters.  This text is highly compressible.
Hence I have three questions:

1. Is there a way to compact  a String within H2. COMPRESS does not
seem to reach the desired size. Actually it is getting even larger.

2. When I compress the fields already within my own program resulting
in an byte array of unknown size how can I store this byte array into
the database? Here is really the size which matters. The text takes
around 90% of the complete size requirements.

Is it enough to use the BINARY datatype? Or should I use the array
datatype?

3. My program supports both Postgresql and H2. One getting data from a
server, H2 is rather used for the local machine. Since users want to
copy the database without the need of a dump.  is it somehow possible
to send the database file together with the login parameters to
another user (and another machine) who then can open the database (as
a kind of a file) via JDBC and work on it. I know this is kind of a
stupid question since a database should avoid this manors but the
users wish to have this functionality.

Thx a lot to everybody who will help me. I m pretty sure you will
solve my problems.
