Populating Directory Databases
Databases contain the directory data managed by your Netscape Directory Server
(Directory Server). This chapter describes the following procedures for populating
your directory databases:
• Importing Data (page 143)
• Exporting Data (page 150)
• Backing Up and Restoring Data (page 154)
• Enabling and Disabling Read-Only Mode (page 161)
Importing Data
Directory Server provides three methods for importing data:
• Import from the Directory Server Console—You can use the Directory Server
Console to append data to all of your databases, including database links.
• Initialize databases—You can use the Directory Server Console to import data
to one database. This method overwrites any data contained by the database.
• Importing data from the command line—You can import data using the
command-line utilities.
Table 4-1 describes the differences between an import and initializing databases.
NOTE The LDIF files you use for import operations must use UTF-8
character set encoding. Import operations do not convert data from
local character set encoding to UTF-8 character set encoding.
