The easiest +way to do this is to specify values for the "name" and "data" columns only and +have zipfile fill in sensible defaults for other fields. To insert a directory +into the archive, set the "data" column to NULL. For example, to add the +directory "dir1" and the file "m.txt" containing the text "abcdefghi" to zip +archive "test.zip": + +</p><div class="codeblock"><pre>INSERT INTO temp.zip(name, data) VALUES('dir1', NULL); <i>-- Add directory </i> +INSERT INTO temp.zip(name, data) VALUES('m.txt', 'abcdefghi'); <i>-- Add regular file </i> +</pre></div> + +<p>When a directory is inserted, if the "name" value does not end with +a '/' character, the zipfile module appends one.
