Can anyone point me to a howto that shows the absolute minimum needed
for file uploads to a database binary column using native RoR? I've
googled around, and all the results seem to be about plugins like
paperclip or attachment_fu, or complex examples that don't seem to
address a very basic need.

I currently have a schema with:

  create_table "attachments", :force => true do |t|
    t.integer  "user_id"
    t.integer  "property_id"
    t.binary   "file"
    t.datetime "created_at"
    t.datetime "updated_at"
  end

and a scaffolded controller with a view containing:

    <% form_for @attachment, :html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %>
      <%= f.error_messages %>
        <!-- other stuff snipped -->
        <%= f.label :file %><br />
        <%= f.file_field :file %>
      </p>
      <p>
        <%= f.submit 'Create' %>
      </p>
    <% end %>

Uploading a file tells me:

    NoMethodError in AttachmentsController#create
    private method `gsub' called for
    #<File:/tmp/RackMultipart20091116-1557-wrrxpn-0>

but I can't find *any* useful documentation as to what needs to go into
the create action to pull it all together. I don't want to do anything
complicated; I just want to store the binary in the database for later
retrieval.
