Do I need to have a relational database for the backend data (rather than > ldbm)? Did you know that it is possible to have x^n CNs for the same record? That the same record can have dn="cn=chuck,dc=example,dc=com" and dn="cn=cpierce,dc=example,dc=com"? Just like Siamese twins, in fact ... as long as the CNs are unique. Or maybe you wanted different birthdays (evolutionperson.schema) for both of them; then that's not possible. Neither are different userPasswords and that sort of thing. If you can't accept the "different cn solution" above, then I don't think it's possible. This question's been answered before by Kurt, during the last couple of weeks - there's no relationship possible between data in like attributes in different records. You'd need an RDB for that.
