You can easily make a custom type to do that:
import xlib
compressed =
SQLCustomType(
type
='text',
native
='text',
encoder =(lambda x: zlib.compress(x or
'')),
decoder = (lambda x: zlib.decompress(x))
)
db.define_table(
'example',
Field('data',
type=compressed)
)
May need some testing. Let us know.
