And yes, that is me being a smart-arse (but it is a completely accurate answer). "SQL database" has almost no meaning in a question like that because there are a lot of different SQL databases. DB2, MySQL, Progresss, Oracle, SQL Server could all be called SQL databases.

Of course, the context does tell me that you are probably talking about the SQLite database that the Kobo devices use. In that case, the simplest way to compress it is using my Kobo Utilities plugin in calibre. Other than that, any SQLite database tool will have an option to do it or allow you to run VACUUM.
Thank you. Yes, I did mean the SQLite data as used by Kobo. I just worded my question poorly.
