hi,

In my controller on Upload am trying to store file containts in table  
ArticleDetails.

@docfile = params[:article\_file]

ArticleDetail is my model in which ArticleDetails is a BLOB data type  
field.

@articledetail.ArticleDetails = @docfile.read

but it doesn’t store anything.

please tell the way how to do this?

thanks.
