Maximum filename length in NTFS (Windows XP and Windows Vista)?

Question

I\'m designing a database table which will hold filenames of uploaded files. What is the maximum length of a filename in NTFS as used by Windows XP or Vista?

Answer 1

255 chars, though the complete path should not be longer than that as well. There is a nice table over at Wikipedia about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename.
