say you have a vars.file_name that contains the file to be uploaded. Before
the insert you need to do (I think):
vars.file_name =
db.UPLOAD.file_name.store(vars.file_name.file,filename=ars.file_name.filename)
Perhaps this can be automated a little but. Let me give it some thought.
Please open an issue on google code.
