Hi!

Some time ago I set up nuxeo-ep-5.1.1.GA and did some tests.
As my tests were successfull, I then decided to change the
persistence layer from using the default DB to use PostgreSQL.
I did several additional tests with various test installations
which also were successfull.

So I then changed both the default-repository configuration as
well as all the datasources and additional files as described
in various documents on the primary installation.

This seemed to work fine: tables were created in the PostgreSQL
database automatically and the Nuxeo application did work without
problem. Of course my test documents were gone, but that was
expected. So the system went into production...

But today I found that with this configuration Nuxeo still
uses the filesystem-based storage for its documents!
Documents are not stored in the database but still in the
directory-structure under .../data/NXRuntime/repos/default/
There is some data stored in the database, but not the
documents... :-(

This of course is a major problem if you want to backup
the system, upgrade to a newer nuxeo version, move the
application server to a different machine, ...

I tried with a fresh installation today and here it works:
documents _and_ metadata are stored in the RDBMS, there are
only a few index files stored on the filesystem. The fresh
installation uses exact the same configuration files for
default-repository-config.xml and all the other config
files related to persistence as my production installation!

So it looks like if you already have some data in a filesystem-
based repository you can't switch to a RDBMS based reporitory.
Is this true?

Now the question arises: How can I get the documents which
represent the work of several weeks from the filesystem
into the database repository? I don't want to lose all the
history, comments, timestamps etc.

Any idea?
