Thanks for your prompt response.
We use ver 2.3.19 which is quite old. That is just a test server. Does any later release support paged result for ldbm? Or do we have to use either back-bdb or back-hdb to get paging support?
What are reasons to not use ldbm backend? Is there a place where I can read about this?
I am new to OpenLDAP and any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Navaneetha

Thanks for all you input. Trying the ldapsearch with -E pr(paged result) command gives the same error

database ldbm
ldbm does not support paged results. Note that this is not the only, nor the main reason for avoiding the use of back-ldbm. You should use back-bdb or back-hdb, possibly with a recent version of OpenLDAP.
