Hi, I ran into two problems. First: How to save Files in a custom directory based on the filecontent? Second: How to let the Database ensure that all Filenames are unique?
I've solved the first one by overriding the '_save_FIELD_file' - Method of my Model, which is not nice since I do some djang-code copying, but works. I've also added a UNIQUE-Index to my 'file'-column. What happens if the DB recognized that a filename already exists? Django first creates a db entry with a blank value for 'file' and than trys to fill it with the filename. The last action fails and so I've got a new DB-Entry with no content. This wouldn't even be too bad if I could still add more files. This is not possible because django trys to create another entry with that blank field and that fails because of the UNIQUE-Index. It seems to me that the problem is that filecreation and filenameupdate is not atomar, not in one transaction. Is that a Bug or a somewhat speed realated 'feature'? Do you have a Hint for me how I could solve my problems more niftily? mfg - stanz initially: id | file ----------------- 00| 'myfilename' insert same file: 00|'myfilename' 01|'' #Blank entry remains and no more files can be added --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
