It is not at all LDAP standards -compliant, so if you want a standards compliant 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/ldb/include/ldb.h">ldb.h</a> -and the example code in the <a -href="http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/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. For now, please use the <a -href="https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba-technical">samba-technical</a> -mailing list or the <a href="https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/ldb">ldb</a> -mailing list, and the <a href="http://bugzilla.samba.org/">Samba bugzilla</a> bug tracking system. - -<h2>Download</h2> - -You can download the latest release either via rsync or thtough git.<br> -<br> -To fetch via git see the following guide:<br> -<a href="http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Using_Git_for_Samba_Development">Using Git for Samba Development</a><br> -Once you have cloned the tree switch to the v4-0-test branch and cd into the source/lib/ldb directory.<br> -<br> -To fetch via rsync use these commands: - -<pre> - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/ldb . - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/tdb . - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/talloc . - rsync -Pavz samba.org::ftp/unpacked/libreplace . -</pre> - -and build in ldb.
