First, We're not using the DAL. Our database provides stored procedures for all manipulation. I've got quite a large (to me) web2py application with 20-25 controllers and over 100 templates. We've got our own class hierarchy that sort-of wraps the db procedures and represents our data model.
I have a page where I need a file uploaded and available to me to insert into the db via a stored procedure. I have a form in my template (<form method="POST" action="../ upload"><input type="file" name="file" /><input type=submit /></ form>), but I don't see anywhere to retrieve the contents of the file. I can see that I get the form post data in request.body.read(), but where are the file contents? I've searched the groups but it appears that everyone is using the SQL libraries to produce their forms... --ae
