#include <db.h> int DB->stat(DB *db, DB_TXN *txnid, void *sp, u_int32_t flags);
The DB->stat() method creates a statistical structure and copies a
pointer to it into user-specified memory locations. Specifically, if
sp is non-NULL, a pointer to the
statistics for the database are copied into the memory location to
which it refers.
The DB->stat()
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, the txnid parameter is a transaction handle returned from DB_ENV->txn_begin(); if the operation is part of a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store group, the txnid parameter is a handle returned from DB_ENV->cdsgroup_begin(); otherwise NULL. If no transaction handle is specified, but the operation occurs in a transactional database, the operation will be implicitly transaction protected.
The flags parameter must be set to 0 or one of the following values:
Return only the values which do not require traversal of the database. Among other things, this flag makes it possible for applications to request key and record counts without incurring the performance penalty of traversing the entire database.
Database items read during a transactional call will have degree 2 isolation. This ensures the stability of the data items read during the stat operation but permits that data to be modified or deleted by other transactions prior to the commit of the specified transaction.
Database items read during a transactional call will have degree 1 isolation, including modified but not yet committed data. Silently ignored if the DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED flag was not specified when the underlying database was opened.
Statistical structures are stored in allocated memory. If application-specific allocation routines have been declared (see DB_ENV->set_alloc() for more information), they are used to allocate the memory; otherwise, the standard C library malloc(3) is used. The caller is responsible for deallocating the memory. To deallocate the memory, free the memory reference; references inside the returned memory need not be individually freed.
If the DB_FAST_STAT flag has not been specified, the
DB->stat() method will
access some of or all the pages in the database, incurring a severe
performance penalty as well as possibly flushing the underlying buffer pool.
In the presence of multiple threads or processes accessing an active database, the information returned by DB->stat may be out-of-date.
If the database was not opened read-only and the DB_FAST_STAT flag was not specified, the cached key and record numbers will be updated after the statistical information has been gathered.
The DB->stat() method may not be called before the
DB->open()
method is called.
The DB->stat() method returns
a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

The DB->stat()
method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:
When a client synchronizes with the master, it is possible for committed
transactions to be rolled back. This invalidates all the database and cursor
handles opened in the replication environment. Once this occurs, an attempt to use
such a handle will
return DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD.
The application will need to discard the handle and open a new one in order to
continue processing.
