I have noticed that I cannot zip certain databases, but others will
zip without a problem. Two examples:
1) File1.mdb. Orig size 417 MB. After compacting, it was 391 MB.
After zipping it, it was 47 MB.
2) File2.mdb. Orig size 347 MB. After zipping (before compacting),
it was 331 MB. After compacting (the orig file), it was 329 MB. If I
try to zip the compacted file, it doesn't change the file size at all.
Can anyone provide any reason that some files would compress quite a
bit, whilst others won't deflate at all??? I haven't been able to
find anything online about it. Any help would be appreciated.
