+<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><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+cached count is only an approximate count, and may be out-of-date.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.
