Thanks a lot anthony, db(db.mytable.id==24).update(file1=db.mytable.file1.store(request.vars.file1 )) works,
whereas db(db.mytable.id==24).update(file1=request.vars.file1) gives error: <class 'gluon.contrib.pg8000.errors.ProgrammingError'> ('ERROR', '22001', 'value too long for type character varying(512)') PS.
