Thanks guys - I think we will look at going to MDB as well now.

Hi Howard,

Thank you very much for the explanation. What BDB version would you

recommend. Obviously I have quite a few options and would like to use a version that is known to be very solid.

I believe 4.7.25 + all 4 of its official patches was pretty stable. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/berkeleydb/patch-088170.html

I've done limited testing with 4.8.30, 5.1.19, and 5.3.21. At this point I'm no longer tracking BDB revisions since MDB has superior performance while using 1/4 as much RAM and requiring no tuning.

We've been using BDB 4.7.25+all 4 patches without issue for several years as well. However, I will also note that we are now switching over to MDB as well for our production services starting with OpenLDAP 2.4.32.
