...depending on your operating system and OpenLDAP version installed,
you should have on your system a tool called  db<version>_recover

 e.g.: db5.1_recover, db4.8_recover and so on.

(from the man page:)
"db5.1_recover - Restore the database to a consistent state

The  db5.1_recover utility must be run after an unexpected application,
Berkeley DB, or system failure to
restore the database to a consistent state. All committed transactions
are  guaranteed  to  appear  after
db5.1_recover has run, and all uncommitted transactions will be
completely undone."


Be sure to make a backup copy of your db before running it, and that the
version of the db utilities that you are running matches your BDB
version (I haven't tried to recover it using different utilities/db
version).

If you manage to restore your db, make sure you perform regular backups
and that you have at least 1 slapd replica running.... they can both
help you to restore the system in such situations :)

Kind Regards,
Alessandro
