By default the application runs in development mode after deployment. I want to set the mode to production but when I do that by changing the environment.rb, the application gets message 500. Is there any way to set the environment to production after deployment to server? I have a problem of setting the rails environment to production after deployment to the server.

]]> Comment on Inserting large blobs in MySQL by Rich Duzenbury http://dragffy.com/blog/posts/inserting-large-blobs-in-mysql/comment-page-1#comment-3590 Rich Duzenbury Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:01:34 +0000 http://dragffy.com/blog/?p=77#comment-3590 Or, create a separate table and split large documents into several smaller ones. Our app has the concept of documents and pages. As in real life, the documents table owns all of the rows in the pages table for one document. We split each document into pages, and store each page in a blob. In our case, the document is a multipage tiff file. A 10 page tiff file becomes one document record and 10 page records, with each page stored in a blob in the pages table. The client app splits the documents up for storing and reassembles them for viewing. Something like 20 lines of code to store and 20 lines of code to reassemble. If your blobs don't lend themselves to pages like a multi page tiff file, simply declare a page to be a certain size, say 1MB.

I hope nobody relies on the URI allowed character string only, before saving to a database, all input should be thoroughly validated using your own methods and/or the included validation class. I normally only pass numeric IDs around in a codeigniter URI, so a preg_replace() removing all non-numeric characters is a good start...
