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. I'd replied to your post yesterday, but somehow it was not posted
