LDAP to SQL engine
Whilst working on the automatic production of web statistics - came across the following problem:
“How do I get relational data from an Hierarchical structure?”
It didn’t take long to realize - I’d have to use PHP to talk to LDAP, pull off records & upload into a series of tables, using the cn as primary key. Which then could be queried relationally. Pulling off large, queries and repeatedly
transcending LDAP trees is pretty slow - so I built my LDAP to SQL engine,
by flattening dns into table names. Then used PHP scripts to query & produce
daily snap shots.
This is the Perl port of the PHP version. Requires some setting up on db side, but invaluable once implemented.
