An LDAP directory should not be treated like a database. There is no transactional capability within LDAP, which means it is not possible to roll back changes or to make a series of changes in a single transaction as in a traditional database.
The lack of transactional capability makes LDAP directories a bad choice for systems that depend on transaction or order processing, such as banking and booking systems.

We hear lots of LDAP being good at this and that, so what's the room for LDAP to grow or any area LDAP is not good at?
