Well let's see... 1. The LDBM/BDB thing is an OpenLDAP-ism. OpenLDAP created the 'BDB' backend as the new transacted store, leaving the older LDBM code as it was. FDS is not OpenLDAP. It forked from the UMich code in 1995. In FDS the name of the files is still 'ldbm' but the functionality is roughly similar to that of the 'BDB' backend in OpenLDAP (at least as far as having ACID properties and using transactions in BekeleyDB goes). So you need do absolutely nothing to get 'BDB'. 2. There is no SQL back end for FDS at present. So to change to a MySQL backend database you'd need to write code.
