# 2752 Using Compression with SAVE UPDATES and Published Tables Can Cause Uncompress Error

Using EDB 2.01 b4 on server database, which gets copied to clients, and using Compression level 6 for all published updates (defined at the table level), the client runs a script which saves updates for several tables using compression 6 (defined in the SAVE UPDATES statement). The updates are copied up to the server. Then, I run a script on the server which loads the updates successsfully, and tries to save its own updates using the same compression level, but it stops on the first table with the message:

Error 1304: An error occurred with the statement at line X and column Y (Error saving updates for the database D (Unknown error occurred with the table T (EDB Error 1201 An error occurred while uncompressing data (Unknown compression method))))

If I turn off compression (set it to level 0) both at the table level and when saving updates (both client and server), it works fine.


Comments Comments and Workarounds
The workaround is to not use compression.
