    Description

      While I was playing a little with the new dynamic schema in ADS 1.5, I found an interesting situation.

      Here's the scenario:
      I created a new AT called 'MyAT' and a new OC called 'MyOC' which has 'MyAT' in its May list.

      After a refresh of the Connection in LDAP Studio, I was able to create a new entry using 'MyOC' as OC. This entry was 'MyAT=test, dc=example, dc=com'.

      Then I was wondering how would react the server if I delete 'MyAT' from the schema.
      I got a warning telling me that an entity was depending on it (it was 'MyOC' of course).
      Very Great!

      Then I tried to delete 'MyOC'... and then... no warning...
      I could delete it successfully.

      After that, I was also able to delete 'MyAT', since there was no more dependency on it.

      That left my server with a pretty strange situation : having an entry depending on OC and AT that doesn't exists anymore in the schema...

      While trying to load children of 'dc=example, dc=com', I got an error : "Error while reading entry
      [LDAP: error code 33 - failed on search operation: OID for name 'myoc' was not found within the OID registry]"

      I think it would be a good idea, before deleting an OC in the schema, to verify if there's not one (or more) entry depending on that OC.
