Hello guys,
I want to know if we want to bind centOS 6.4 database server to AD windows server 2008R2, we will use one of these ways :
1) WinBind
2) LDAP
There is no "best" they are for doing different things with different technologies. What do you actually want to achieve? If you want to join a domain then that's Samba and winbind, if you want to query the ldap interface fo AD, then that's ldap.

I want to be sure, if LDAP do this job ??? and what is the best? WinBind or LDAP ???
As said, there is no 'best'. And based on what you posted, your question makes no sense. If you have a CentOS DATABASE server, then you don't need anything like LDAP/Winbind to connect to a database...just a database 'client', like mysql/oracle command line, ODBC, etc. If you mean that you want to INTEGRATE your Windows Active Directory WITH an LDAP server, yes, you can easily do that. And instructions for doing so are easily found with a Google search.
