There's no way  you can have a path with more than 260 characters in 
windows. Any database has no issues on handling long paths, only the 
underlying filesystem. If you choose to store files in your uploads folder, 
and you are on windows, you need to limit the length of the filenames users 
try to upload. Alternatively, you can store files in the database in a blob 
field.
