There has been lots of discussion on ths very topic. Much of it is recent (i.e., in the last month or two). Search the list archives. Now to your question. Sqlite is inappropriate for production, and you probably shouldn't really be using it for development. Use a real DB (I recommend PostgreSQL). > Should the (database) column be of type BINARY? No. Image data does not belong in the DB. Put it in the filesystem instead, and just store the filename in a text field in the DB. > Is there a > Rails helper for uploading images via web page form? There's the Paperclip plugin, and also attachment_fu. I've never used either, but more people seem to like Paperclip. > > Hope the above makes some sense to somebody. > > Thanks > Steve Best, -- Marnen Laibow-Koser http://www.marnen.org [email protected] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
