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.
