Dear list I am not sure if LDAP support the kind of "joint search" that frequently being used in relational database.
e.g. I got 3000 records like this dn: ou=support,dc=realss,dc=com ou: support objectClass: organizationalUnit telephoneNumber: +592 209 2185538 dn: cn=Zhang Weiwu,ou=support,dc=realss,dc=com cn: Zhang Weiwu objectClass: inetOrgPerson favoriteDrink: tea How can I do a ldap search to get a list if telephone numbers of departments that have people who prefer to drink tea? I can: 1) first do ldapsearch (&(favoriteDrink=tea)(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)) 2) obtain a list of 'dn', cut the first part of the dn and get a list of dn of organizationalUnit that have people who prefer to drink tea. Now I got a list of 1500 organizationalUnits; 3) do ldapsearch 1500 times using the DNs I have got in step 2, ask for telephone number, collect results together. This is possible but take a lot of time. For SQL database I'd use a joint select statement. Is there an easier way to achieve this in LDAP?
