Hi,
They say that Berkeley HDB is an ACID database, but does OpenLDAP support transactions ? And if yes, how do you start and commit/rollback a transaction ?
Thanks Ben

No, it does not. I see this is scheduled for v2.5 (see: http://www.openldap.org/software/roadmap.html) and it is unknown when v2.5 will be published.
I don't even know if there is already any work in progress for v2.5. Nothing shows up in the source tree (http://www.openldap.org/devel/gitweb.cgi?p=openldap.git;a=summary)
Regards, Nick

Single LDAP write operations are atomic and AFAIK slapd-hdb and slapd-bdb internally use BDB transaction for ensuring that.
Transaction support for more than one LDAP write operation (see RFC 5805) is not implemented in OpenLDAP yet as the roadmap states. Also the LDAP clients you're using would have to support that.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5805
Personally I don't know of any mature implementation of RFC 5805. But I might be wrong.
Ciao, Michael.
