Only a few backends in slapd use what you'd normally call a "database". Do you have a suggestion for where it could have made clearer, and a brief wording for it?

Backend storage mechanism.

Acutally what I meant to ask was, where could the doc describe what it means with "database" so that you would have caught on?

The terminology comes from the Umich LDAP implementation (which had 3 backends, I think) and is over a decade old now. It's a bit late to change it on everyone now.
