Hello
Ok...i know that ..
On ldap , all the attributes which may be used for a
specific type of object are called an Object Class.  
As with attributes, you may define new object classes
to meet your needs.  Within each object class, you may
designate that some attributes are required, and that
others are merely optional.
I see the ldap like this:
Fields are similar to attributes, tables are similar
to object classes.
The first code was a aproximation to «demostrate» that
can function.
Now i will keep in mind your advice and  i'm going
to develop the code to meet that and put the patch
on bugzilla
thanks.
