If you accept a form like FORM(INPUT(_type="file",_name="upload_f"))
the form.vars.upload_f contain a cgi.FieldStorageObject with two
attributes

form.vars.upload_f.file from which you can read() the content and
form.vars.upload_f.filename (the original filename)

You cannot store in database form.vars.upload_f but you can store the
data and/or the filename
