Liferay 6.2 Documents migration from filesystem to DB

I am going to move from storing document files in filesystem to Database. I would like to know the following before proceeding.

  1. Migration of existing documents in filesystem, is executed through control panel by selecting the DBStore hook. Is this right? Do I need to perform some other actions?
  2. Regarding performance, what are the drawbacks/advantages of such a change?
Solution

    1. yes. If you want to store in some other database than the default, you'll need to configure that connection

    2. it depends (TM). Measure: If your database or network connection to the database are currently the bottleneck, you're adding to this. If something else is the bottleneck limiting your installation, nothing will happen
