>This section tells you how to create a slapd database from scratch. There are
|
|
two ways to create a database. First, you can create the database on-line using
|
|
LDAP. With this method, you simply start up slapd and add entries using the
|
|
LDAP client of your choice. This method is fine for relatively small databases
|
|
(a few hundred or thousand entries, depending on your requirements). This method works
|
|
for database types which support updates.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The second method of database creation is to do it off-line using special utilities
|
|
provided with slapd. This method is best if you have many thousands of entries to create,
|
|
which would take an unacceptably long time using the LDAP method, or if you want to
|
|
ensure the database is not accessed while it is being created. Note that not all database
|
|
types support these utilitites.</P
