Saving attachment and images to database

Rails
1

How can I upload an attachment and store it into a database as a binary
blob object?

Also if I (file) upload an image and I resize and create thumbnails, how
do I save these images into a database.

Hello Rajinder,

We have a plugin in rails which does exactly this job, it creates
thumbnails too. I have implemented this in my two projects. Please
follow this steps

Hi Atheeq,

I fiddled with paperclip in the past, but from what I can see the
image uploaded are being save to file, not the database.

Don’t. Keep binary data in the filesystem. That way you won’t have to
invoke Rails every time you want to serve a file, and your database will
be easier to maintain.

Marnen,

you got a valid point, that didn’t cross my mind.
Thanks!
