that needs to support concurrent access by multiple users. As there are
different flavours of the Berkeley DB available, can I just ask if we need to
purchase the Concurrent Data Store version of Berkeley DB or can I just stay
with the Data Store version?

OpenLDAP uses BerkeleyDB's Transactional Data Store.
