updating the unchanged entry?

[denis.havlik@t-mobile.at]

Hi everyone

I wonder what happens if I read an entry, and than ask the openLDAP to update it, without actually requesting any changes?
For instance "moddn" or "replace" operation that actually results in exactly the same entry as before.

Would such an operation be discarded by some internal openLDAP check, or would it be just as expensive as a "real" change?

thx
