CarrierWave 和 MySQL

Question

How would you install carrierwave and mysql together, I can't find anything in the documentation. The only way I can see is to install paperclip, then migrate to carrierwave.

UPDATE: To be more specific, store the image in a BLOB in the database.

Answer 1

if you include RMagick, you can use the to_blob method that it provides: http://studio.imagemagick.org/RMagick/doc/image3.html#to_blob

Answer 2

What problems are you encountering?

You need to have both carrierwave and mysql in your gemfile and bundled - did you follow the tutorial here

Follow the intructions to create uploader, create a migration to add an image string to your model and you'll be all fine.
