+
+       <para>
+ldb is a light weight embedded database library and API. With a
+programming interface that is very similar to LDAP, ldb can store its
+data either in a tdb(3) database or in a real LDAP database.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+When used with the tdb backend ldb does not require any database
+daemon. Instead, ldb function calls are processed immediately by the
+ldb library, which does IO directly on the database, while allowing
+multiple readers/writers using operating system byte range locks. This
+leads to an API with very low overheads, often resulting in speeds of
+more than 10x what can be achieved with a more traditional LDAP
+architecture.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+In a taxonomy of databases ldb would sit half way between key/value
+pair databases (such as berkley db or tdb) and a full LDAP
+database. With a structured attribute oriented API like LDAP and good
+indexing capabilities, ldb can be used for quite sophisticated
+applications that need a light weight database, without the
+administrative overhead of a full LDAP installation.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+Included with ldb are a number of useful command line tools for
+manipulating a ldb database. These tools are similar in style to the
+equivalent ldap command line tools.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+In its default mode of operation with a tdb backend, ldb can also be
+seen as a "schema-less LDAP". By default ldb does not require a
+schema, which greatly reduces the complexity of getting started with
+ldb databases. As the complexity of you application grows you can take
+advantage of some of the optional schema-like attributes that ldb
+offers, or you can migrate to using the full LDAP api while keeping
+your exiting ldb code.
+       </para>
+
+       <para>
+If you are new to ldb, then I suggest starting with the manual pages
+for ldbsearch(1) and ldbedit(1), and experimenting with a local
+database. Then I suggest you look at the ldb_connect(3) and
+ldb_search(3) manual pages.
