comment: | == Why do my large attachments get truncated? == Databases such as MySQL have a maximum size that can be stuffed in a given column. You may need to change the column type for prop values to allow them to fit larger things. The relevant columns are baz_propval.value and baz_cacheentry.value. In MySQL, Blob columns can hold 64 kB, MediumBlob columns 16 MB, and LargeBlob columns 4 GB. You can modify the types directly in the database without making any code changes. If you need more than that, you're doing it wrong. Also, you'll exceed your [[http://sql.mit.edu/|sql.mit.edu]] quota. Note that attachments smaller than the maximum size will only take up the size they have; there is only a byte extra storage used up for each larger blob object, so erring on the size of large is not a bad plan. But watch your quota, or you'll lose automatic backups.
