back-sql is an experimental backend, it has no official support.  Any 
development on it is purely based on the needs of people who use it and 
submit patches to enhance it in the ways they need.  There are probably 
better ways to do what you want.

For example, when I was at a previous job, we had written a program that 
could convert our oracle DB to LDIF, and import then we would import that 
into LDAP.  We used an event system as well, that when there were updates 
to the Oracle DB, would trigger ldap writes to the master of the changes as 
well (using the same program, it could run in a one-off LDIF mode or as an 
event driven program pushing updates to LDAP).
