Another option would be to use back-sock and write a separate server process to
translate between the back-sock protocol (extended LDIF) and SQL.
You should get better performance (if your server programming is good)
and if something goes wrong there is less code to debug: back-sock has under
1500 lines of C, where back-sql has over 11000...

There are still many caveats though: limited ACLs, fundamental mismatch in data
model, poor performance and resource usage when compared with back-mdb etc...
