The perfect way to upload file in Rails 3.1

Question

I'm new in Ruby/Rails, so, my question: what is the perfect way to upload file and save filename in database with rails? Are there any Gem? Or maybe there are good build-in feature?

I'm amazed of how many people ask this same exact question without searching SO first...... — stfcodes, Mar 30 '12 at 11:40
