ldb

+ +ldb is a LDAP-like embedded database. It is not at all LDAP standards +complient, so if you want a standards complient 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: + +

Safe multi-reader, multi-writer, using byte range locking +
LDAP-like API +
fast operation +
choice of local tdb or remote LDAP backends +
integration with talloc +
schema-less operation, for trivial setup +
modules for extensions (such as schema support) +
easy setup of indexes and attribute properties +
ldbedit tool for database editing (reminiscent of 'vipw') +
ldif for import/export +

+ +

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 currently have its own mailing list or bug tracking +system. For now, please use the samba-technical +mailing list, and the Samba +bugzilla bug tracking system. + +
