It works through sql backend - that is subsystem that serves ldap operations (passed to
it by daemon's frontend that talks LDAP to clients) using RDBMS. See documentation on
back-sql.

Of course, yes. Different backends have nothing to do with client interaction through
LDAP protocol - the (single) frontend does this job.
Different backends just muck with data as requested by frontend, so clients don't know
were the tree is stored really - BerkleyDB, RDBMS or plain text files.

ODBC. OpenLDAP is written in C, not Java.

Please read the documentation available on site (guides, FAQs, list archives)
