31<b>Description: DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat</b>
32<p>The DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat method creates a statistical structure and copies a
33pointer to it into user-specified memory locations.  Specifically, if
34<b>sp</b> is non-NULL, a pointer to the statistics for the database are
35copied into the memory location to which it refers.</p>
36<p>Statistical structures are stored in allocated memory.  If application-specific allocation
37routines have been declared (see <a href="../api_c/env_set_alloc.html">DB_ENV-&gt;set_alloc</a> for more
38information), they are used to allocate the memory; otherwise, the
39standard C library <b>malloc</b>(3) is used.  The caller is
40responsible for deallocating the memory.  To deallocate the memory, free
41the memory reference; references inside the returned memory need not be
42individually freed.</p>
43<p>In the presence of multiple threads or processes accessing an active
44sequence, the information returned by DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat may be out-of-date.</p>
45<p>The DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat method cannot be transaction-protected.  For this reason,
46it should be called in a thread of control that has no open cursors or
47active transactions.</p>
48<p>The statistics are stored in a structure of type DB_SEQUENCE_STAT.  The
49following fields will be filled in:</p>
50<br>
51<b>u_int32_t st_wait;</b><ul compact><li>The number of times a thread of control was forced to wait on the
52handle mutex.</ul>
53<b>u_int32_t st_nowait;</b><ul compact><li>The number of times that a thread of control was able to obtain handle
54mutex without waiting.</ul>
55<b>db_seq_t st_current;</b><ul compact><li>The current value of the sequence in the database.</ul>
56<b>db_seq_t st_value;</b><ul compact><li>The current cached value of the sequence.</ul>
57<b>db_seq_t st_last_value;</b><ul compact><li>The last cached value of the sequence.</ul>
58<b>db_seq_t st_min;</b><ul compact><li>The minimum permitted value of the sequence.</ul>
59<b>db_seq_t st_max;</b><ul compact><li>The maximum permitted value of the sequence.</ul>
60<b>int32_t st_cache_size;</b><ul compact><li>The number of values that will be cached in this handle.</ul>
61<b>u_int32_t st_flags;</b><ul compact><li>The flags value for the sequence.</ul>
62<br>
63<b>Parameters</b> <br>
64 <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one or more
65of the following values:
66<br>
67<b><a name="DB_STAT_CLEAR">DB_STAT_CLEAR</a></b><ul compact><li>Reset statistics after printing their values.</ul>
68<br></ul>
69<br>
70<p>The DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat method may not be called before the <a href="../api_c/seq_open.html">DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;open</a> method has
71been called.</p>
72<p>The DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat method
73returns a non-zero error value on failure
74and 0 on success.

77<b>Description: DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat_print</b>
78<p>The DB_SEQUENCE-&gt;stat_print method prints diagnostic information to the output
79channel described by the <a href="../api_c/env_set_msgfile.html">DB_ENV-&gt;set_msgfile</a> method.</p>
80<b>Parameters</b> <br>
81 <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set by bitwise inclusively <b>OR</b>'ing together one or more
82of the following values:
