Storing files (photos) in DB

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello everybody,
I'm pretty new to CI and I need help with uploading files. I know there is upload library class but it does not allow to store the file (its content) into the DB.

I have read
the forum about why/why not store files in DB and I decided to give it a try. Did anyone do it? What did you use? I wanted to use jQuery Multiple File Upload Plugin. I also find how to store/retrieve files to/from DB article.

I think I am able to put these together and make the solution which will work. I was wondering if anyone did the same before and can give me some useful advices.

Any help or comments will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance for them.
