[web2py] Re: BLOB fields in MSSQL Server

this has nothing to do with the aforementioned error (operand type clash). In addition to that, TEXTSIZE just limits what a text, image, varbinary, varchar field is allowed to be fetched, not stored. Since web2py is using odbc, and odbc uses the max limit that you mention by default, if you're

Yep, my intention was to use field_list afterwards, and it's simple enough to get around the problem. The bigger issue may be that the side effect in question can cause bugs that are a bit trickier than usual to track down, since it's happening under the hood, so to speak, and is unexpected. I

If you need to use field_list elsewhere and don't want it to be mutated by SQLFORM, then just pass a copy of it to SQLFORM instead. import copy form = SQLFORM(db.t_table_1, fields = copy.copy(field_list)) I suppose SQLFORM could be changed to do the copying itself. Anthony On Wednesday, Februa
