Our current database size is 7GB and we are wondering how big we can grow until we run into LDAP / BDB constrains.
Are there others on the list that have extremely large databases? Any pointers to ensure we can grow our DB even further without issues?

I have over 30 000 of entries of various types total, hundreds of domains, thousands of accounts, thousands of email-related settings, thousands of DNS related stuff, at least tens (if not hundreds) indexes. My database size (without bdb transaction logs which contains up to 300-400MB until I purge it) - takes about 100-120MB, no major bdb problems so far, unless I experiment with some really cutting-edge features and settings. You must work for really big enterprise, check size of old bdb logs :)

There are no constraints within any LDAP specifications. There are no constraints within the BerkeleyDB library. There are no constraints in the OpenLDAP code.

We've tested databases of over 1TB in size with over 5 billion entries. The only constraints are the size of your computing resources - disk and RAM...
