hello to everyone.

[I already tried to send this message to the list. as a list-subscriber I couldn't see it in my inbox neither I saw it on the web list archives. I hope you did not get this message twice]

* I was able to run tests against a 2.4.39 OpenLDAP server configured to make use of a MySQL server database. * I have a properly installed Oracle client and also properly configured unixODBC to query Oracle via the "isql" command. * I can see queries run against the oracle instance (although bind-values masquerade run-time queries)

after issuing all the DDL and DML statements that come with the distributed software and after modifying the slapd.conf as suggested, I run into problems when starting the server (enclosed please find the complete output with debug set to "-1"): I get the following error[1] even if the query with "2" as the bind value properly works.

*questions*

Q1) what am I missing? have you got any hint? (if needed, I can provide further information)

Q2) are the provided sample files supposed to work as-is?

Q3) if the answer to Q2 is "no" but you have been able to run back-sql and Oracle, could you please share DDL and metadata?

thanks for your support, roberto benedetti
