I put together this python script to compress databases. There seems to be an issue with the for loop where it correctly loops through the list of database names throughout the script except within the ArcPy process where a new database connection is created and the database name is used to define which database to connect to. While all "print" indicators appear to be using the desired database, the database connection is repeatedly created with only the first database in the list of database names and, therefore, the first database is the list is compressed over and over, while the remaining databases are not compressed (confirmed in the SQL sde compress log).
Any advise and help is greatly appreciated!
