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.
Best,
Marnen,
you got a valid point, that didn't cross my mind. Thanks!
