QuickARC


QuickARC - because sometimes, size does matter...

When you want to compress your files, you should be looking for a tool that offers excellent performance in three categories:

   compression ration

   compression speed

   easy-of-use


This compression utility was written to help us deploying large projects over Internet. It is a CUI application (Character User Interface), the reason of that was to to produce only CUI output. Sometimes applications generate error messages or application specific dialog messages. Working over Internet without having control over the remote machine, it's almost impossible to respond to those messages, so your deployment could be blocked until somehow the message from the remote machine will be closed (this happens specially when using MS SQL Query Analyzer - with xp_cmdshell stored procedure - as your remote management console).

QuickARC 1.1.0

Syntax

  to compress: QuickARC -c <input file> <output archive name>
  to uncompress: QuickARC -d <input archive name> <output path>

Performance

We have made several comparing tests with the most used compression utilities on the market: WinZip, WinRAR, WinACE. In the next table you can see the test result summary:

CompressionFile sizeFile typeRatioTime (s)
ZIP67MBSQL database13.86%55
RAR67MBSQL database9.45%78
ACE67MBSQL database9.87%55
QuickARC67MBSQL database11.49%157




If time is not an issue and the size is what does matter then this FREEWARE utility could be what you are looking for.


Compression Algorithm

The algorithm chosen for the compression/decompression phase was the Burrows Wheeler Block Transformation (BWT) algorithm with an arithmetic compressor.

Benefits

  Allow to perform compression and decompression using one algorithm BWT + arithmetic coding
  it allow the user to perform addition, deletion and modification of data in the archive
  archive incorporate Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC-32) to confirm the integrity and check for any errors in the files in the archive
