inflated .dta files due to data storage type  #651

Open

Description

I often have to export dataframe in .dta format, which I do using haven::write_dta. The problem is that the Stata users with whom I share these files often have to use the Stata compress command in order to reduce their size. Would it be possible to include a feature in write_dta which allows to adjust the storage type, mimicking what compress does in Stata?
