>values for compression_level and what compression can be estimated?

compression_level is a parameter to the zlib compression library. 
Like gzip, it expects values from 0 (no compression) to 9 (work hard 
to compress).

One thing to note about using 8 or 9 is that it doesn't always 
compress more than something like 6. The higher values will form more 
complex compression rules, but often the space required to store the 
rules will offset the compression gains. :-(

In your case, I wouldn't expect a whole lot of compression. A 7MB 
database quite frankly is at the small end and there isn't much to 
work with.
