https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9270 Issue ID: 9270 Summary: Admin guide: Add detailed information on indexing Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: documentation Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org Target Milestone: --- It would be useful to outline what the different types of indexing options do, and when they are useful, in the admin guide. For example: presence indexing is only useful if looking to find entries with a given attribute, when generally < 50% of the entries in the DB have an instance of that attribute. equality indexing would not be particularly useful on an attribute that exists in most every entry, and the attribute always has the same value etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
