sql supports function. eg.
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (NOW());
UPDATE mytable(mydoc, revision) SET revision=revision+1

this enables the ability to use custom attributes for storing timestamp, as 
modifyTimestamp is unmodifiable.

base tree:
dc=example.com, o=example ltd, dc=top
dc=example.net, o=example ltd, dc=top
dc=company.com, o=company ltd, dc=top

using views I can create a tree of all domains, no matter which organization:
ou=domainView, dc=top
nsViewFilter: (dc=*)

so under ou=domainView I got all domains
dc=example.com,ou=domainView
dc=company.com,ou=domainView
...

imagine I'd like to search a user under domain example.com
dn: uid=jondoe,dc=example.com,o=example ltd,dc=top

I could search straight in
dc=example.com,ou=domainView,dc=top

or pick directly
uid=jondoe,dc=example.com,ou=domainView,dc=top

but it's not possible.

hoping to have been clear...
Thx+Peace,
R.
