A simple csv import function to my Rails application

Hi.

I am in the process of making an application that should handle imports of the content csv. I plan on incorporating AJAX when I get more routine (so the page don't have to redirect back after the upload), but for now I am looking for the simplest upload function. A file could for example be (First_name;Last_name;Age;State):

Andrew;McDonald;78;California

I am quite new to Rails, so nothing fancy. Preferably some basic code in View, Controller and Model.

My sqlite3 database has a table that contains the corresponding columns.

Which bit do you need help with, the upload or parsing the data? If the upload have you tried googling for rails upload?
