I don't have the answer right now; I suggest you read the code (you see,
this is the difference between open and closed source). In any case,
the more you go along that trail, the more you'll get hurt. Back-sql
should be intended the other way round: you've got some tables in SQL,
you want to render them nicely in LDAP. If your ambition is to
implement full LDAP semantics support in back-sql, well, good luck.
