What's in a name... Apparently "MDB" is already a well-known suffix for Microsoft Access database files. "mdb" is also the name of a debugger tool in Solaris. To avoid confusion with those unrelated items, it might be a good idea to rename our MDB to something else. Now, before the next OpenLDAP release is published. Comments?
Is that really an issue given the common practice to refer to it as back-mdb?
I'm pretty sure on will find a lot of name clashes when sticking to three letter acronyms ending with "db" anyway.
But if you really see a need for changing the name how about simply back-mmapdb?
I'm not sure that we need to change the name; I was asking the question.
back-whatever is of course unambiguous, in OpenLDAP. "MDB" itself will be used in other contexts.
