Compression (Property)

In french: Compression

Available only with this kind of connection

The Compression property is used to manage data compression during a connection (HFSQL Client/Server, etc.). You can:

Find out whether the connection transmits compressed data.
Define whether the data transmitted between the server and the client must be compressed. In this case, if the connection is currently opened, it will be closed and reopened with the new parameters during the first access to a file that uses this connection.

Reminder: The compression of data is used to reduce the volume of data flowing through the transmission media (this feature is interesting for the transmissions invoiced according to the volume of data transmitted). The data compression is supported from version 14 of the HFSQL server. For more details, see Compressing frames.

Remark: The connection can correspond to:

a connection described in the data model editor,
a connection described by HConnect, HDescribeConnection or HOpenConnection.
a connection described by a Connection variable.
