Description Amit Rai 2000-11-17 20:26:27 UTC 
Hi,

  I am new to openldap .  As far as I understand the  attributes for an
object is stored in a flat manner.  Can the attributes be stored in an
hierarchal manner ??

Ex: Suppose I am storing information about hotels in my city, and I want

to check whether a double room is available in any hotel.  Can someone
please suggest a suitable way of doing this ??

As far as I understand the object hotel should have an attribue Rooms,
which should have two leaves say single and double, and then I store the

number of available rooms at each of the leaf.  got the idea??

 Please help me out !!  Any suggestion will be welcome

Regards,

Use a relational database instead.  Or some combination of the two.
The kind of query you want to do would be a snap for a relational
database.
