Hello All, I am uploading and encoding files and then trying to insert the file content into a database. It works fine for small files (under about 20KB), but fails for larger ones with the error: Error Type: ProgrammingError Error Value: (-104, 'execute.isc_dsql_prepare: Dynamic SQL Error. SQL error code = -104. Unexpected end of command. ') See below for traceback etc. Using zope 2.6.4 on win32 with kinterbasdbda (not sure what version), firebird 1.0 It sounds like the sql command is getting trucated or something with the larger strings. Can anybody offer suggestions? Many Thanks, Josh ##################################### I have a form to upload a file: <dtml-var standard_html_header> <form method="post" action="upload_process" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="quote_file"> <input type=hidden name=shipment_id value=&dtml-shipment_id;> <input type="submit"> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> A script to process the file: from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote request = container.REQUEST RESPONSE = request.RESPONSE fil = request.quote_file data = fil.read() ct = fil.headers['Content-Type'] encdata = context.encode(data) print ct print len(data) context.insert(quote_file_data=encdata, quote_content_type=ct, shipment_id=request.shipment_id) return printed A zsql method: insert into quote_files (quote_file_data, quote_content_type, shipment_id) values (<dtml-sqlvar quote_file_data type=string>, <dtml-sqlvar quote_content_type type=string>, <dtml-sqlvar shipment_id type=int> ) External methods (encode_decode.py) for encoding and decoding the possibly binary file contents: def encode(bindata): from base64 import encodestring return encodestring(bindata) def decode(strdata): from base64 import decodestring return decodestring(strdata) My database table: CREATE TABLE QUOTE_FILES ( QUOTE_FILE_ID INTEGER NOT NULL, QUOTE_CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR(50) CHARACTER SET NONE, SHIPMENT_ID INTEGER, FILENAME VARCHAR(500) CHARACTER SET NONE, QUOTE_FILE_DATA BLOB SUB_TYPE 3 SEGMENT SIZE 1 ); Exception traceback Time 2005/11/21 16:01:45.513 GMT+11 User Name (User Id) josh (josh) Request URL http://mrisydney:8080/Bigbird/shipments/admin3/quotes/upload_process Exception Type ProgrammingError Exception Value (-104, 'execute.isc_dsql_prepare: Dynamic SQL Error.
