- now all write operations appear to work correctly with PostgeSQL 7.0
- all write operations have been made transactional (atomic writes to
entries are committed separately only in case of complete^1 success
while all other operations are rolled-back by default)
- more cleanup and handling of exceptional conditions
TODO:
- deen to check with different databases and more up to date versions
of both unixODBC and PostgreSQL.
^1: attribute add/modify/delete operations silently succeed if the
appropriate add/delete proc does not exist for each attribute;
this may be correct to hide undesired/unimplemented correspondence
between LDAP and SQL databases; however, a more appropriate
LDAP behavior would be a failure with LDAP_UNAVAILABLE if a
single write operation cannot be executed for such reason
- re-style according to the style giudelines for better readability
- updated to recent frontend/backend API changes
- fixed a few quirks about normalization
- "optimized" a few memory allocation/string handling functions
- fixed a few quirks about add/modify (still have to look ad modrdn)
todo:
- there is still something broken (at least with PostgreSQL and IBM db2,
the two RDBMS O have at hand) when adding
- move everything to struct bervals and try to save a few strlen
- try some LDAP/SQL syntax relation to use appropriate value bind if possible

lutil_progname() and lutil_strcopy() are not declared, which can
be fatal since they do not return int.

Don't allow empty string values.
Treat string values with only spaces as one space.
DirectoryString needs more work (space handling needs
to be done post normalization).
