      Final run of changes to back-sql; IBM db2 support has been tested. · f11c6b27
      Pierangelo Masarati authored
      Now related ITSes need be audited and possibly closed.
      
      Enhancements:
        - re-styled code for better readability
        - upgraded backend API to reflect recent changes
        - LDAP schema is checked when loading SQL/LDAP mapping
        - AttributeDescription/ObjectClass pointers used for more efficient
          mapping lookup
        - bervals used where string length is required often
        - atomized write operations by committing at the end of each operation
          and defaulting connection closure to rollback
        - added LDAP access control to write operations
        - fully implemented modrdn (with rdn attrs change, deleteoldrdn,
          access check, parent/children check and more)
        - added parent access control, children control to delete operation
        - added structuralObjectClass operational attribute check and
          value return on search
        - added hasSubordinate operational attribute on demand
        - search limits are appropriately enforced
        - function backsql_strcat() has been made more efficient
        - concat function has been made configurable by means of a pattern
        - added config switches:
            - fail_if_no_mapping	write operations fail if there is no mapping
            - has_ldapinfo_dn_ru	overrides autodetect
            - concat_pattern		a string containing two '?' is used
      				(note that "?||?" should be more portable
      				than builtin function "CONCAT(?,?)")
            - strcast_func		cast of string constants in "SELECT DISTINCT					statements (needed by PostgreSQL)
            - upper_needs_cast	cast the argument of upper when required
      				(basically when building dn substring queries)
      
      Todo:
        - add security checks for SQL statements that can be injected (?)
        - re-test with previously supported RDBMs
        - replace dn_ru and so with normalized dn (no need for upper() and so
          in dn match)
        - implement a backsql_normalize() function to replace the upper()
          conversion routines
        - note that subtree deletion, subtree renaming and so could be easily
          implemented (rollback and consistency checks are available :)
        - implement "lastmod" and other operational stuff (ldap_entries table ?)
