The slapd-sql(5) man page states:

  '- the key must be an integer. ...
   If anyone needs support for different types for keys
   - he may want to write a patch,'

I am configuring back-sql as a frontend to the SugarCRM Customer Database.
SugarCRM uses UUID's as keys:

  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/miscellaneous-functions.html#function_uuid

so I want (to write) a patch. Can you please give me some hint where
to start?

Thank you in advance,
