Relatively speaking, I don't think a typical LDAP database is that
complicated. It may have a lot of records, but the structure seems pretty
simple.
I suppose there's the slapindex command, which rebuilds the db indices. You
have to shut down LDAP to run it. And as the man page says (if you have a
large database anyway), "this command provides ample opportunity for the
user to obtain and drink their favorite beverage."
Perhaps this is somewhat naïve, but shouldn't a decent database be fairly
self-maintaining anyway? If you're not actually experiencing problems, it
may not be worth worrying about.
