-<h1 align=center>Database statistics</h1>
-<p>The <a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html">DB-&gt;stat</a> function is the standard interface for obtaining database
-statistics. Generally, <a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html">DB-&gt;stat</a> returns a set of statistics
-about the underlying database, e.g., the number of key/data pairs in
-the database, how the database was originally configured, and so on.
-<p>There are two flags that you can set to customize the returned statistics:

+<p>The <a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html">DB-&gt;stat</a> method returns a set of statistics about the underlying

+<p>There is one flag you can set to customize the returned statistics:</p>
<p><dl compact>
-<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html#DB_CACHED_COUNTS">DB_CACHED_COUNTS</a><dd>Request an approximate key and key/data pair count. As obtaining an
-exact count can be very performance intensive for large databases,
-it is possible to request a previously cached count. Obviously, the
-cached count is only an approximate count, and may be out-of-date.
-<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html#DB_RECORDCOUNT">DB_RECORDCOUNT</a><dd>If the database is a Queue or Recno database, or a Btree database that
-was configured so that it is possible to search it by logical record
-number, return only a count of the records in the database.
+<p><dt><a href="../../api_c/db_stat.html#DB_FAST_STAT">DB_FAST_STAT</a><dd>Return only information that can be acquired without traversing the
+entire database.
