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.
