Subject: Saving gzipped string into Sqlite3 via Rails throws unrecognized 	token error

Not sure if this belongs in the rails forum or here (it's a little of
both)...

 I'm using rails 2.3 and I'm trying to compress (gzip) text that I'd
like to save using ActiveRecord into a sqlite database.

However, the compressed text isn't being saved b/c I get this type of
error: SQLite3::SQLException: unrecognized token: "'x##Uˎ#7

Any thoughts on what I can do to avoid this error?

should I compress the text in some other fashion?
should I save the data using some other method(s)?
TIA!!!
Relevant code is below.

###########################################
# compress my text
require 'zlib'
defl = Zlib::Deflate
test_string = "<h3>some text</h3>some additional text<p>here's some
more text</p>"
compressed_string = defl.deflate(test_string)
=> "x\234\263\3110\266+\316\317MU(I
\255(\261\321\207\361\022SR2K2\363\363\022s \022\005v\031\251E
\251\352\305\n`\331\334\374\"\230\206\002;\000\0225\027\222"

ModelClass.new(:attribute1 => compressed_string).save
