zlib_download_window

zlib_download_window_size

If you set the compression option to zlib, you can use this option to specify the compression window size for download.

Syntax

zlib_download_window_size=window-bits

To turn off compression for downloads, set window-bits to 0. Otherwise, the window size can be a value between 9 and 15 inclusive. In general, better compression rates can be achieved with a higher window size, but more memory is required.

window-bits is the base two logarithm of the window size (the size of the history buffer). The following formulas can be used to determine how much memory is used on the client for each window-bits:

upload (compress): memory = 2^{(window-bits + 3)}

download (decompress): memory = 2^{(window-bits)}

When linking your application directly against the static UltraLite runtime, call ULEnableZlibSyncCompression( sqlca ) to link the zlib functionality directly into your application. Otherwise, mlczlib12.dll must be deployed.
