It is not at all LDAP standards +complient, so if you want a standards complient database then please +see the excellent <a href="http://www.openldap.org/">OpenLDAP</a> +project.<p> + +What ldb does is provide a fast database with an LDAP-like API +designed to be used within an application. In some ways it can be seen +as a intermediate solution between key-value pair databases and a real +LDAP database.<p> + +ldb is the database engine used in Samba4. + +<h2>Features</h2> + +The main features that separate ldb from other solutions are: + +<ul> +<li>Safe multi-reader, multi-writer, using byte range locking +<li>LDAP-like API +<li>fast operation +<li>choice of local tdb or remote LDAP backends +<li>integration with <a href="http://talloc.samba.org">talloc</a> +<li>schema-less operation, for trivial setup +<li>modules for extensions (such as schema support) +<li>easy setup of indexes and attribute properties +<li>ldbedit tool for database editing (reminiscent of 'vipw') +<li>ldif for import/export +</ul> + +<h2>Documentation</h2> + +Currently ldb is completely lacking in programmer or user +documentation. This is your opportunity to make a contribution! Start +with the public functions declared in <a +href="http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba4/source/lib/ldb/include/ldb.h">ldb.h</a> +and the example code in the <a +href="http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba4/source/lib/ldb/tools/">tools +directory</a>. Documentation in the same docbook format used by Samba +would be preferred. + +<h2>Discussion and bug reports</h2> + +ldb does not currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking +system.
