Hello,
Yes, depending on the type of database you are using, the
following statistics from DB->stat, look like what you want.
For Hash databases:
hash_ndata;
The number of key/data pairs in the database. I
For Btree databases:
bt_ndata;
For the Btree Access Method, the number of key/data pairs
in the database.
For the Recno Access Method, the number of records in
the database.
For Queue databases:
qs_ndata;
The number of records in the database.
