ldb

+ +ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database. It is not at all +LDAP +standards compliant, so if you want a standards compliant database then please +see the excellent OpenLDAP +project.

+ +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.

+ +ldb is the database engine used in Samba4. + +

Features

+ +The main features that separate ldb from other solutions are: + + + +

Documentation

+ +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 ldb.h +and the example code in the tools +directory. Documentation in the same docbook format used by Samba +would be preferred. + +

Discussion and bug reports

+ +ldb does not have its own mailing list or bug tracking system. Please +use +the samba-technical +mailing list, and the Samba +bugzilla bug tracking system. + +

Download

+ +You can download the latest release here:
+ http://samba.org/ftp/pub/ldb + +Alternatively, you can fetch via git. See the following guide:
