There's no way you can have a path with more than 260 characters in
windows. Any database has no issues on handling long paths, only the
underlying filesystem. If you choose to store files in your uploads
folder,
and you are on windows, you need to limit the length of the filenames
users
try to upload. Alternatively, you can store files in the database in a
blob
field.

Re: [web2py] Error uploading 60 character named .pptx file
Actually, the web2py setting you're looking for is 'length'. Here's an
example:
db.define_table('document',
Field('document_filename', writable=False, compute = lambda row:
request.post_vars.document.filename),
Field('document','upload',autodelete=True,
requires=IS_LENGTH(minsize=10, maxsize=9048576,
error_message='Please select a file.')),
)
# Windows has a maximum length of 260 characters for a file's combined path
and name
import platform
if platform.system() == 'Windows':
db.document.document.length = 100

Re: [web2py] Error uploading 60 character named .pptx file
I had a similar issue some time ago, but Windows was my testing machine,
not the production server OS. So it was not very annoying...
If you want to host on Windows, you may have to store the original filename
in the database, and change it on the disk :

Re: [web2py] Error uploading 60 character named .pptx file
Okay -
So in my case the file name actually passed to DB is as highlighted below
- this is 229 characters long (still smaller than 260 limit). Can the
upload field handle such long file names ? Do you think that could be the
problem? How do we specify file name character limit in db.py when defining
files I know we can specify the size but how names of files ? Any idea?
in db.py I have -
Field('attach_file','upload'))
I am not using blob to store files- instead files are stored on server at a
specified path.
