You're confusing two different things. Database does not equal API. SQL
and LDAP are API's for accessing physical information usually stored in a
native format on the system (with Berkely db2 for example). You cannot
intermix db's created with different API's (without some strange gateway
code). So, you cannot create a database with MySQL and serve it with slapd
(the LDAP server).
