Steve, install BerkeleyDB engine and module and set 'useDB4Rebuild' to ON 
- will solve your problem.

how to move to DB:

- install a DB engine of your choice - eg MySQL
- create a DB and set max connection to 1000 - use InnoDB as default 
engine
- install the DBD-mysql module
- copy all flatfiles you want to move to DB to  assp/mysql/dbimport 
(importDBDir)
- rename all files to an extension .add or .rpl (read the GUI for 
importDBDir ff) 
- set DBdriver, mydb, myuser, mypassword, backupDBInterval, copyDBToOrgLoc
- restart assp - this will import all data
- after import restart assp again to cleanup temporary data

at least read the GUI for DB stuff, and read the file 
assp_database_readme.txt.

assp_database_readme.txt:

This should be a short whitepaper to configure and use ASSP with any 
supported database.
This whitepaper assumes, that you have the needed knowledge about 
databases and there management!

To use other databases then MySQL, to have import-,backup- and export 
functions and to use databases for the penaltybox and
spamdb you need a ASSP version 1.3.6 or above! There has to be a file 
assp_db_import.cfg in ASSP root directory!!!!

requirements:

- a database / tablespace whith index/key support (like 
MySQL,Pg,Oracle,MSSQL,Informix,DB2 and others)
- a databaseuser with read/write and Create/Alter-Table permission
- perl Tie::RDBM module (from CPAN or PPM) - all also required modules 
will be also installed by default
- perl DBD::(your database) driver - you can see the installed drivers in 
the Webinterface-section "File Path and Database"
  under DBdriver. If you can not find a perl driver for your database, you 
can also use ODBC or ADO - if your OS supports that.


configuration:

you have to define:

- myhost:
The host (name or ip address) to connect to the database. Some database 
drivers do not need this parameter - but it must be
already set.

- DBdriver: 
The database driver used to access your database - DBD-driver. The 
following drivers are available on your system:
ADO|AnyData|CSV|DBM|ExampleP|File|Gofer|Mock|ODBC|Oracle|Proxy|SQLRelay|SQLite|SQLite2|Sponge|mysql|mysqlPP
If you can not find the driver for your database in this list, you should 
install it via cpan or ppm!
- or if you have installed an ODBC-driver for your database and DBD-ODBC, 
just create a DSN and use ODBC.
Usefull are ADO|DB2|Informix|ODBC|Oracle|Pg|Sybase|mysql|mysqlPP - but any 
other SQL compatible database should also work.

syntax examples: driver,option1,option2,...,...
ADO,[DSN=mydsn]
DB2
Informix
ODBC,DSN=mydsn|driver={SQL Server},Server=server_name
Oracle,SID=1|INSTANCE_NAME=myinstance|SERVER=myserver|SERVICE_NAME=myservice_name,[PORT=myport]
Pg,[PORT=myport]
Sybase,SERVER=myserver,[PORT=myport]
mysql,[PORT=myport]
mysqlPP,[PORT=myport]

The options and there possible or required order depending on the used 
DBD-driver, please read the drivers documentation, if you do not
know the needed option. The username, password, host and databasename are 
always used from this configuration page. 

- mydb:
This database must exist before starting ASSP, necessary tables will be 
created automatically into this database.

- myuser:
  the database user
- mypassword:
  the password of the database user

There are more parameters to set, but this parameters have default values 
and they are descripted in the configuration screen!

Now define a value "DB:" for all lists and caches you want to use a 
database table for 
(whitelist,delaydb,pbdb,spamdb,redlist).
You do not need to use all of them, you have the choice to select!

If you are here - go back to the top and verify all your settings!

This is a good time to restart ASSP - you have to do this any time, you 
have changed any database related parameters listed
above!
How ever - ASSP should now be ready to work. If you have made an upgrade 
form an earlyer version, you can import your old
files in to the database. To do this, there are two ways: you can use the 
ImportMysqlDB-option in the webinterface and import
will be done by ASSP every time it starts and it finds a import-file in 
the import-directory.
You need to configure "importDBDir" and you have to copy all files you 
want to import in to this directory. Now rename this
files to *.add or *.rpl what ever you want ASSP to do - an ADD or a 
REPLACE records in to the database.

Files can be:
- pbdb.black.db.(add|rpl)
- pbdb.mxa.db.(add|rpl)
- pbdb.ptr.db(add|rpl)
- pbdb.rbl.db.(add|rpl)
- pbdb.rwl.db.(add|rpl)
- pbdb.spf.db.(add|rpl)
- pbdb.uribl.db.(add|rpl)
- pbdb.white.db.(add|rpl)
- redlist.(add|rpl)
- whitelist.(add|rpl)
- spamdb.(add|rpl)
- spamdb.helo.(add|rpl)
- delaydb.(add|rpl)
- delaydb.white.(add|rpl)
Use the extension "add" or "rpl" to add or replace the records to the 
tables.
Only files for database-enabled tables will be imported 
"pbdb|spamdb|redlist|whitelist|delaydb"! 

At this time all functions of ASSP are well tested with 
MySQL(ODBC/direct),MSSQL(ODBC/ADO) and Oracle(ODBC/direct),
but it should work with any other database, as long as you have a perl 
driver for that. Only if you want to use the
import function with you database, you may get DBI errors. In this case 
the file assp_db_import.cfg should be modified
for your database. Please change ASSP in to debug mode, stop ASSP, rename 
the maillog.txt,
prepaire the import directory and start ASSP. Please send the following 
informations to ASSP group:
database type and version - and the maillog.txt with the errors.
If you have some knowledge in SQL you can try to add a section for your 
database to the assp_db_import.cfg file!

If you want to replicate databases between several ASSP installations, you 
have to make sure that the replication processes ignoring duplicate 
records. 
For MySQL you have to add the following line in to my.ini:

slave-skip-errors=1582 1062 1051

If you use any replication mechanism with Microsoft SQL Server:

- Add the attribute 'ROWGUIDCOL' to the column PKEY of each table that 
should be replicated, before you start replication, 
because some MSSQL versions will create an extra identity column with that 
attribute, which will lead in to database errors in ASSP. 
The replication attributes/constraints have been changed by MS from 
version to version - please read the documentation for your MSSQL Server.
- Set 'preventBulkImport' to on - otherwise the import procedure of ASSP 
will destroy replication attributes/constraints of the DB tables. 
If you want to use the BulkImport, you must edit the file 
'assp_db_import.cfg' by changing the statements for 
'drop primary key' and 'add primary key' according to the requirements of 
your SQL server version.

Flat at the moment, can't get the db's to import, (not a DB guy I'm 
afraid),still trying.

 rebuildspamdb is ok until :-

"Oct-28-11 07:13:03 c:/assp/notspam
Oct-28-11 07:13:05 File Count:           13,095
Oct-28-11 07:13:05 Processing... notspam with 13095 files"

Then them memory just builds & builds till it uses the whole 2gig then 
ASSP crashes..

Depending on the configuration (DB or flat file) the rebuildspamdb will 
use between 200 and 800MB memory.

Hi Thomas

Just FYI, no difference here while running rebuildspamdb

Hi all,

just released a pre fixed version 2.1.2 11301, which fixes partly the 
growing memory usage issue.
I'm just low on time. There are also several changes in this release for 
the HMM - please read the changed GUI for 'DoHMM' if you use it.

I'll try to send an update of the change log this evening ~ '18:00:00' 
UTC.

Thomas
