That's fine with me.

I could eventually imagine having an action (menu entry, button or so)
that triggers compacting an internal HSQL database in a controlled way
(closing open windows, running "shutdown compact", re-open the existing
connection. At least nice to have as for dbase ... sounds like I'd write
an issue.

Lastly I was copying one table having 6 or 7 mixed type rows and 2^16
records from a running 2.3.1 over to the macro.M1. After that I had to
set a primary key on the new table and when I was through the .odb file
on disk was ~17 MB big. Compacting shrunk it to ~5 MB.

Thanks,
Marc
