Re: Converting BDB database from 4.8 to 4.5.

["Markus Moeller" <huaraz@moeller.plus.com>]

Hi Quanah,

I use Opensuse's native package which is build against db-4.5 and wouldn't 
like to rebuild with 4.8 as it will break when I patch the system the next 
time.

I my have have used after a crash db_recover from 4.8 as this is Opensuse's 
default db-utils package :-(.    Could this make the file unusable for 
db-4.5 ?

Thank you
Markus

You can rebuild openldap against libdb 4.5... Better solution is to export
your db via slapcat from the old OpenLDAP, switch to using mdb, and then
slapadd.  assuming openldap 2.4.39
