For a test server it probably does not matter which database you use
unless you need to load large amounts of data, or do unusual things
like rename whole subtrees (bdb cannot do that).

For a production server using current OpenLDAP code, mdb is the first
choice. If you are forced to use older software then hdb may be safer.
