How can I save attachment to Odoo database?

Question

I have a field in my model that is
file_ids = fields.Many2many(comodel_name='ir.attachment',string="Files")
Whenever I attach a file it does not save into the database structure, why is that?
What can I do so that when I attach a file it goes into the database structure attachments ?

Hi,
*By default,* attachments are stored outside the database, as binary files on the server(filestore folder).
it can be configured to stored either in the
*database *or in the *filestore*,
you can check this by going to settings -->configuration -->Technical -->Parameters -->system parameters.
looking for ir_attachment.location [1] value.
