Description dpa-openldap@aegee.org 2018-06-01 21:16:08 UTC
Full_Name: Dilyan Palauzov
Version: latest
OS: any
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/
Submission from: (NULL) (85.234.198.115)


http://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=slapd-mdb says:

  index {_attrlist_|default} [pres,eq,approx,sub,_special_]
...  
    If only an _attr_ is given, the indices specified for default  are 
maintained.

It means probably not _attr_ but _attrlist_.

maxsize _bytes_:
...
It is important to  set  this  to  as  large  a  value  as possible

I am not a native speaker, but I think there shall be no "a" before "value".

How about this sentence:

> It is important to set this to as large a value as possible…

What about it? It's a correct statement.
Comment 5 dpa-openldap@aegee.org 2021-08-26 18:42:47 UTC
For me “as large a value as possible…” sounds without “a” better.

Then it would no longer be grammatically correct.

"as large a value as possible" is correct.

An alternative way to phrase it would be

"as large of a value as possible", but both are correct statements.

"as large value as possible" is not a correct statement in any form in this context.
