As far as I know, LDIF is the only text format natively supported in 
OpenLDAP. You can write your own programs to convert other formats to 
LDIF, or speak LDAP directly to slapd using the libldap library.
Libraries exist for many scripting languages (e.g. Perl, Python) to make 
these tasks easier, but those language bindings are separate projects, 
not part of OpenLDAP.

You would have to write your own program, or find an existing external 
one, to extract information from a SQL database and import it into 
slapd.
