Thanks for your prompt response. We use ver 2.3.19 which is quite old. That is just a test server. Does any later release support paged result for ldbm? Or do we have to use either back-bdb or back-hdb to get paging support?
What are reasons to not use ldbm backend? Is there a place where I can read about this? I am new to OpenLDAP and any help is appreciated.

Note that this is not the only, nor the main reason for avoiding the use of back-ldbm. You should use back-bdb or back-hdb, possibly with a recent version of OpenLDAP. Ing.
