Question:

1. Is my observation correct? i.e the keycol used to map the LDAP entries

to SQL data expects the primary key (id) to be of type integer.

2. If #1 is correct, do we have a way to support VARCHAR datatype for the

primary key? In my application, we use GUID (alpha-numeric characters) as the primary key.

Hi,

back-sql, as noted in the man page, is experimental. It is also unmaintained and known to have various issues. It generally needs someone who has interest in it to start supporting it. So YMMV on what you can and cannot do. It's generally better to use a supported native backend.
