Configuration switch for WireCompression

I'm missing a config switch to turn on wire compression. Is it already useable though connection params?

The firebird-odbc-driver project currently has no active maintainer.

The workaround is to make sure the fbclient.dll loaded by the driver can find zlib1.dll and its firebird.conf contains WireCompression = true.

Hi @MartinKoeditz

You mean - you need an option (checkbox) in ODBC DSN settings dialog window? and the corresponding opts in an ini file/Registry/Connection string?

In the current version 3.0.0.9 in the documentation or help there is no reference to the wirecompression parameter.
It would be a very good option

Hi @balger

You can try 3.0.0.10 build. I've added a compression option to a DSN dialog. It definitely works - you can check MON$WIRE_COMPRESSED field in MON$ATTACHMENTS to ensure.
Do not forget to put a zlib1.dll to appropriate place. If you're using 32 bit driver, you should copy a 32-bit zlib1.dll to Windows/SysWOW64, if you're using 64-bit driver - 64-bit version zlib1.dll to Windows/System32.
