We are heavily utilising back-sql on our product. Granted it has its issues but it does so far fulfill our needs. We are currently running on 2.4.58 which we build ourselves for Debian and RHEL/CentOS based systems. We needed couple of patches to back-sql to make it work for us. I just created issues (and added my patches) for them. I don't have a slightest idea if the patches are of any use for you but they make our environments work.
Removing back-sql from future releases would make us stuck with 2.4 release.
back-sql has been without an official maintainer for quite a long time. Are you volunteering to keep it maintained from this point forward?

Is there any reason to > remove it? Not necessarily, that's why I started the discussion. back-bdb was deprecated with 2.3, but was around for all of 2.4 as well. I see no reason to keep back-ndb around. back-sql has numerous open issues, but I've no real insight into whether it retains any usefulness. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Product Architect Symas Corporation Packaged, certified, and supported LDAP solutions powered by OpenLDAP: <http://www.symas.com>
