Hi,

  I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

  I am starting studying LDAP for storing and retrieving information
concerning users of a service. I don't know much about LDAP and
specially concerning its performance against a relational database.
Particularily I have the following concern :

  In a relational database I can declare any table field as a key
(secondary) and so speed up the search processing. What about LDAP ?
Is there any way to specify that a particular attribute is a kind of
"key" and any request specifying this key would be boosted?

  More generally, if such a thing doesn't exist in LDAP what are the
expected performance for a request that doesn't involve the DNS?  and
what is the influence of the size (number of entries) in the
performance?

Thank you for help

Sami
