The slapd.backends(5) man page still indicates that the bdb backend is the
recommended database, even though Quanah has confirmed that for 2.4 and later,
hdb is now preferred, see
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201104/msg00123.html
I've uploaded a patch to
ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming against HEAD that
addresses this issue, you can find it as
0001-Update-to-reflect-that-hdb-is-now-preferred-backend.patch
(Sorry for the name, I'll be more careful to follow the recommended naming
conventions next time).
Note that I used the word "supplanted" rather than "deprecated" in the
new
verbiage about bdb, since deprecated seems stronger. If you would prefer the
term deprecated, let me know and I can upload a new patch with that change.
