Description
It would be nice to either compress the generated .sql file or to provide the option to have that file compressed.
#1
Adds database compress using PHP's Zlib. At the same time, it supports reading from example.sql files if they exist during database restore for backwards compatibility.
#2
Cleaned up the logic a bit and it now degrades gracefully for creating the dumps if zlib compression is not available.
#3
The patch worked out great for me. My 500K dumps are now 55K without having to do any manual compression.
