Redmine

Hi All,
Please bare with me I am new to ruby and rails.
I need to change Redmine functionality to upload files directly to database and not to local filesystem.
1. What I think is that I should add a field to "Attachments" table.
I did this via this following migration
class AddFileToAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
add_column :"attachments", :"file", :binary, :limit =>10.megabytes
end

def self.down
        drop_column :"attachments", :"file" 
  end
end

2. Now I should change the model code to copy the file content into the blob.

I updated attachment.rb , just added the line self.file = @temp_file.read
as I need to read the content of file and put it into database.

def file=(incoming_file)
unless incoming_file.nil?
@temp_file = incoming_file
if @temp_file.size > 0
self.filename = sanitize_filename(@temp_file.original_filename)
self.disk_filename = Attachment.disk_filename(filename)
self.content_type = @temp_file.content_type.to_s.chomp
self.filesize = @temp_file.size
self.file = @temp_file.read
end
end
end

But After doing so I am getting the following error: Anybody please give some direction

ndefined method `original_filename' for #<String:0x8c09038>
