Can't one dump the database to LDIF then make changes? That's probably not going to work for Amazon or Facebook but we only have 4000 entries in our database.

Vinyl records are back in style. So it seems slapd.conf and bdb.

Yeah, I got to spend 2+ hours with a customer today because they chose to use back-bdb, and it lacks subtree rename... so something that should have been trivial to resolve was a long drawn out process. There are good reasons things have progressed beyond slapd.conf and back-bdb.

I wonder: Aren't both mdb and bdb key-value databases? So if one backend implements a subtree rename, the other could do it as well. I think it's nor fair to blame BDB itself for that...

back-hdb supports subtree rename. Pay attention to the difference between back-bdb and back-hdb, both which sit on top of BDB.
