sqliteHow do I use the SQLite ZIP VFS to compress a database?

1. Create a database and connect to it using the sqlite3 module:

   import sqlite3
   conn = sqlite3.connect('mydb.db')

2. Register the ZIP VFS with SQLite:

   conn.execute('pragma vfs_register(zipvfs);')

3. Create a ZIP archive of the database:

   conn.execute('pragma zipvfs_save(mydb.zip);')

4. The database is now compressed in the ZIP archive.
