Re: bdb_equality_candidates: (attr) index_param failed (18) ?

["Carl Litt" <carl@execulink.com>]

Sorry, I should mention that these attributes are not indexed.  They are
rarely ever searched for, and when they are the search base is
sufficient to ensure only a few entries need to be scanned.  eg. In the
search below, there are only about 10 children to the search base.

Is the problem simply that I'm searching for non-indexed attributes?  If
so, will this cause problems?
