Replying to [comment:6 wwinham]: > What are the drawbacks to just making a FileField use Text instead of varchar in the database? It seems like a pretty simple solution that would completely resolve the issue. Another point from Shai Berger in the [http://groups.google.com/group /django-developers/browse_thread/thread/e6dd904a3f5a507b googlegroups thread] mentioned earlier: > In many engines, text fields are kept out-of-table; then, what's kept in the > table, is (effectively) the name of a file where the text is kept. Even if > this doesn't seriously affect performance, using such a field to keep a > filename must raise a few eyebrows. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9893#comment:17> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
