RDBMS and LDAP wars

[Hanasaki JiJi <hanasaki@hanaden.com>]

Hello All,

Planning to use LDAP for storing orgchart and physical building/room 
heirarchies.

The DBA folks are touting NO LDAP DO IT IN RDBMS because:
	- LDAP has no referential integrity
	- moving trees/branches is not possible
	- no ACID transactions
	- no reporting tools like Crystal reports

Anyone have wisdom on dealing with this?  Something like a "rules of 
thumb" or "best practices" for what goes in a RDBMS vs LDAP and how they 
should could be used together in complimentary roles?

Thanmks
