Hi

Does anyone know of any modules that can assist relevant building an  
application to read data from jpg and raw files for transfer it to a  
mysql  
database.

I did a search on the ruby and ruby on rails site but found nothing.

Thanks in advance

David

Hey David,

there is the excellent EXIFR library, available as a gem (http://  
[rubyforge.org/projects/exifr/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/exifr/)). I integrated it in my UploadColumn  
plugin, works a charm. There are some others as well, just do a search  
on Rubyforge.
