Typically, you're going to use CFFILE to write the uploaded file to the
filesystem, and you'd insert your other form fields into the database with
an insert query. You can do both within the same action page. For example,
let's say you wanted to upload your auto info. You might upload one or more
images, write them to the filesystem with CFFILE, reference the server-side
file names into variables, then insert the values of those variables, along
with your other form data, into your database table.
You can't have more than one file uploaded with the same CFFILE tag, but you
can have multiple CFFILE tags referencing multiple uploaded files.
