Yes, that's the default value for length of text type fields see here: https://github.com/web2py/pydal/blob/master/pydal/objects.py#L40
The value is set to 2**15 which is 32768 Then you don't have a requires so web2py puts one for you in https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/dal.py#L29 So you text field has a requires IS_LENGTH(32768) Note that by default, the value of a Field requires is not None, it is DEFAULT. Anyway, the simple solution is to put your text field requires=None, requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY() or requires=IS_LENGTH(1073741824) # 1GB -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
