Andrea - here are your notes on flat-files :-):-)
Flat files will work (still no HMM with flat files!!!) and because they
are completely loaded in to memory, this is the fastest way for ASSP V2 to
work. I'm just working on HMM for flat-files - it looks bad.
But keep in mind - if flat-files are used, the memory usage of assp will
grow (more or less fast) until the process crashes after some
hours/days/weeks - no question if, only when.
All threads are running independend. They are allocating/freeing memory as
needed. This causes growing fragmentation of the process memory. Than
smaller the fragments, that more unusable (less reusable) they are. This
is the nature of a long running mutithreaded Perl.
Hey - just saw, that someone has got ASSP V2 (with
clamav/berkeleydb/imagemagick/plugins) running on a Raspberry pi with 512
MB RAM using debian - awesome.

well... in theory flat-files should work as they are but I'd wait for

No problem, just use a 32bits Perl, using a 64 bits one won't give you
any advantage

I think that picking the latest from http://www.openssl.org/ and
ensuring that the libs (DLLs) are on the PATH may be ok

"This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-t hread"

Berkeley is ok but has little tools to manage the DB in case you'll
ever need to "put your hands in"; in my case I found that MSSQL is a
good pick; if you can't or don't want to use the "full version" the
free "express" will just fit the bill... then, ok, you may decide to go
for MySQL which is fine too, but sincerely I don't trust Oracle so much
and not knowing what will happen to MySQL... :P
As a note I'd like to see a "patch" (or something like that) allowing
to run ASSP over MariaDB and/or FireBirdSQL but then... :)

Well... start by installing ASSP and configuring everything (ASSP,
clamAV+signatures, domains...) and once all ok, move your files to the
new box and ensure all's ok; done that *BACKUP* the config and then
just follow the directions to migrate files to DB; notice that if
you're planning to use hMM instead of Bayes, you'll need to ensure that
your DB is up to the task since hMM poses quite a *load* on the DB (and
the machine running it)
