could the second database be on the same PATH with the first one?

["Xu Lei" <xule@msu.edu>]

Thanks for all those who answered my newbie questions. here comes another
one.
My first ldbm database is under the directory /usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm,
now I plan to set up the second ldbm database  with different suffix under
the
same openLDAP server, can I define it as in the same path
/usr/local/var/openldap-ldbm?
I did so in my slapd.conf, but  failed in using ldapadd to set up the
entries from .ldif file.
Wish to get your help, I could not figure out from the available documents.
Thanks ahead.
