I don't know of any LDAP "storage" that provides an SQL view or if this could actually work for the complex data joining you'd want SQL. see e.g. http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=rdbms&file=378 regards, -p.schober -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - vienna university computer center Universitaetsstrasse 7, A-1010 Wien, Austria/Europe Tel. +43-1-4277-14155, Fax. +43-1-4277-9140 --- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE as the SUBJECT of the message.
