How should I parse a file in Ruby on Rails to store in a database?

I want to create a simple form for users to upload a file, which will be stored in a database. I also want to display all the submitted files in the database with their name and a link to download the file. Schematically, what's the best way to do this in Rails/how should I store the file in table (which fields should my table have? etc). Thanks!

i would use paperclip gem with the upload to s3 instead of file system

checkout the README, most of the examples are for an image, but works with non-image files as well
