Aside from my usual comments regarding staying on topic...

I suggest that anyone determining whether or not to use an
LDAP/X.500 Directory system and a RDBMS (note that one needs
to compare systems to systems, protocols to protocols, not
protocols to systems), should read:

Now, as far as comparing OpenLDAP to other directory servers,
the following offers a fair comparison:

   I guess, shows Norbert is being quite fair.)

For those who wonder why OpenLDAP doesn't use an RDBM database
as its primary data backend should read:
