Yes we will get there and it takes time. However building an LDAP

it is extensible while making it reliable and fast is beyond rocket
science. Our architecture is designed for
flexibility and we will see LDAP acquire new concepts that have existed
in the RDBMS world for years now.
LDAP will see a day when it has triggers, stored procedures, views and
queues very soon to make it more
useful than ever.
I'd like to chime in and say that the existing architecture enabled me
to implement a form of triggers, stored procs, dynamic views, and a new
way of handling indexes. Also, thanks to the flexibility of the design
I was able to implement an entirely new back end (partition) based on an
existing replicated clustered caching system.
The point I'm trying to make is that I have no idea how I would have
accomplished this without ADS. To be useful to me an LDAP server has to
be extensible. ADS is extensible in exactly the way I (a humble software
developer just trying to get LDAP stuff to work) needs it to be.
Thank you (ADS developers) for making ADS.
Cheers.
