How about if I want to use a DB for storage instead of file system?

You’re right. I forgot to mention it. Thanks!

This blog and the on at Sebastion Kanthak’s website don’t mention any changes to your database to hold the file image path.

if you model contains this:

file_column :image

then your model table in the db must contain a column named image that is of type varchar(255)

if your model contains this:

file_column :image2

your db must contain a column named image2 that is varchar(255)
