Have not seen this before. Did ODBC build and pass its tests properly? I don't see -compression in my man page, is this supported? -- mattr
All modules have been installed correctly and "make test"ed. Since I don't receive any error messages other than the ones listed in my first post, I assume that all necessary "use" statements are present.

The compression is a feature of DBI::ProxyServer. If you don't have access to a copy of the O'Reilly Programming the Perl DBI:
To speed things up, you could configure the proxy server to use on-the-fly compression (via the Compress::Zlib module) to clients querying the database over dial-up connection. . . . You can do this by running the dbiproxy script with the additional arguments of: --compression gzip

. . . In order for your client to be able to send and receive compressed data from the DBI proxy server, you also must tell the proxy driver to use a compressed data stream. This is done by specifying the additional DSN key/value pair of compression=gzip when connecting to the database.

. . . However, compression is a useful and transparent feature that can increase the efficiency of your networks and databases when using DBI proxying.
