Many types of Web applications have the need to store arbitrary data uploaded by the users as files.
Despite storing such data in server disks is often the fastest way to store uploaded files, sometimes it is preferrable to store them in SQL database tables because it simplifies distribution to multiple Web servers, or because safe mode limitations it is not possible to write to disk files.
This class provides a generic solution that can address well these problems by simplifying the storage of arbitrary files in a MySQL database.
