Kari,

<div>In my experience with testing the archon migration tool (which has involved many installs, DB deletions, reinstalls etc. , there is very little additional overhead in installing the full install with SQL, so I would recommend doing it that way. And, the
performance is generally better. You can automate the process if you think you will be doing many test migrations, and I'd be happy to share my bash script with you if you'd like.

We will be doing assessment of ArchivesSpace at MIT and I would like to ask the collective wisdom about installing either the package version (with limited database capacity) or the full install with separate SQL database.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you have done this analysis I would like to talk with you about your choice and decision-making process. If there is capacity load information for the packaged (testing) version, I would be glad to have it pointed out to me.<o:p></o:p></div>
