SAR - SQLite Archiver

This repository contains sources for a proof-of-concept "SQLite Archiver" program. This program (named "sar") operates much like "zip", except that the compressed archive it builds is stored in an SQLite database instead of a ZIP archive.

The motivation for this is to see how much larger an SQLite database file is compared to a ZIP archive containing the same content. The answer depends on the filenames, but 2% seems to be a reasonable guess. In other words, storing files as compressed blobs in an SQLite database file results in a file that is only about 2% larger than storing those same files in a ZIP archive using the same compression.
