COMPRESS

COMPRESS(dataBytes [, algorithmString])

Parameters

  • dataBytes - data to compress.
  • algorithmString - an algorithm to use for compression.

Description

Compress the data using the specified compression algorithm. Supported algorithms are: LZF (faster but lower compression; default), and DEFLATE (higher compression). Compression does not always reduce size. Very small objects and objects with little redundancy may get larger. This method returns bytes.

Example

COMPRESS(STRINGTOUTF8('Test'))
