I am a bit confused about the bdb and hdb backends. My understanding is that the former is
based on the Berkeley database, whereas the latter uses an Oracle version of Berkeley
database. In my slapd.conf configuration file there is an entry that specifies that bdb,
not hdb, is to be used. However, when launching slapd, it attempts to use hdb_db_open().
Why would that be the case?

back-bdb and back-hdb are both built on top of the Berkeley DB database
engine. They are both deprecated and will be removed from a future
release. The supported and recommended backend for use is back-mdb.
Oracle changed the license for BerkeleyDB such that 6.0 and later versions
are not compatible with the OpenLDAP software. As for the hdb_open()
perhaps the backends were compiled statically rather than dynamically.
