Most table lookup mechanisms say that NIS, LDAP or SQL etc. use the
same lookups as with db or dbm files.
For example, quote from access(5):
Normally, the access(5) table is specified as a text file that serves
as input to the postmap(1) command. The result, an indexed file in dbm
or db format, is used for fast searching by the mail system. [...]
When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP or SQL,
the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files.
