Thanks, Brian. So I assume the Archive engine was your "baby"? Cool stuff!

I didn't use it in production yet, but I think I might use it for a project soon (and probably replace some older archive solutions that currently work with a combination of merged unpacked and packed MyISAM tables).

Will the compression buffer be written to disk completely when I do a FLUSH TABLES? Then the LOCK, FLUSH and copy strategy would be absolutely safe and I couldn't lose a single row.

Cheers,
Beat
