Re: Can I compress the Output from an SQR program as it is writin g?

["Ivory, Wayne" <wayne.ivory@ILUKA.COM>]

That's an interesting question.  To my mind you would have to be outputting
to a Unix pipe into a 'compress' command (or one of the other compression
commands).  I'm not sure that you can do that directly, but perhaps you
could use a Unix 'named pipe' (if you don't know what that is you'll need to
do some reading in your Unix manuals - it's a bit too involved for me to
explain here).

Good Luck.

Subject: Can I compress the Output from an SQR program as it is writing?


I am using:
SQR/4.0.2/Sun/SunOS 5.5/Oracle 7.2.3/May 02 1997

I am trying to call an SQR program from a shell script and have the
output automatically compress as it is writing out.  Is there an option
within SQR to compress the output, or do you know of a way to call the
SQR and compress the output from the shell script.  Any idea's are much
appreciated.
