How can I store an image in a database using Ruby and Sequel?

Question

I am using Ruby, or more specifically the Ramaze framework with the Sequel ORM . So please don't tell me about the Paperclip gem, as it is only compatible with ActiveRecord.

With that in mind, how can I store an image in a database using Ruby and Sequel?

Answer 1

require "sequel"

DB = Sequel.sqlite

DB.create_table :images do
  primary_key :id
  String :name
  File :data
end

images = DB[:images]
images.insert(name: 'foo', data: Sequel.blob(File.read('/mydir/myimage.jpg')))
