<b>Description: DB->key_range</b>
|
|
<p>The DB->key_range method returns an estimate of the proportion of keys
|
|
that are less than, equal to, and greater than the specified key. The
|
|
underlying database must be of type Btree.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB->key_range method fills in a structure of type DB_KEY_RANGE. The
|
|
following data fields are available from the DB_KEY_RANGE structure:</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>double less;</b><ul compact><li>A value between 0 and 1, the proportion of keys less than the specified
|
|
key.</ul>
|
|
<b>double equal;</b><ul compact><li>A value between 0 and 1, the proportion of keys equal to the specified
|
|
key.</ul>
|
|
<b>double greater;</b><ul compact><li>A value between 0 and 1, the proportion of keys greater than the
|
|
specified key.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p>Values are in the range of 0 to 1; for example, if the field
|
|
<b>less</b> is 0.05, 5% of the keys in the database are less than the
|
|
<b>key</b> parameter. The value for <b>equal</b> will be zero if
|
|
there is no matching key, and will be non-zero otherwise.</p>
|
|
<p>The DB->key_range method
|
|
returns a non-zero error value on failure
|
|
and 0 on success.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
|
|
<b>key</b><ul compact><li>The key <a href="../api_c/dbt_class.html">DBT</a> operated on.</ul>
|
|
<b>key_range</b><ul compact><li>The estimates are returned in the <b>key_range</b> parameter, which
|
|
contains three elements of type double: <b>less</b>, <b>equal</b>, and
|
|
<b>greater</b>. Values are in the range of 0 to 1; for example, if the
|
|
field <b>less</b> is 0.05, 5% of the keys in the database are less than
|
|
the <b>key</b> parameter. The value for <b>equal</b> will be zero if
|
|
there is no matching key, and will be non-zero otherwise.</ul>
|
|
<b>txnid</b><ul compact><li>If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, the
|
|
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a transaction handle returned from
|
|
<a href="../api_c/txn_begin.html">DB_ENV->txn_begin</a>; if the operation is part of a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store group, the
|
|
<b>txnid</b> parameter is a handle returned from
|
|
<a href="../api_c/env_cdsgroup_begin.html">DB_ENV->cdsgroup_begin</a>; otherwise NULL.
|
|
If no transaction handle is
|
|
specified, but the
|
|
operation occurs in a transactional
|
|
database,
|
|
the operation will be implicitly transaction protected.
|
|
The DB->key_range method does not retain the locks it acquires for the
|
|
life of the transaction, so estimates may not be repeatable.</ul>
|
|
<b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br><b>Errors</b>
|
|
<p>The DB->key_range method
|
|
may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>DB_LOCK_DEADLOCK</b><ul compact><li>A transactional database environment operation was selected to resolve
|
|
a deadlock.</ul>
|
|
<b>DB_LOCK_NOTGRANTED</b><ul compact><li>A Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store database environment configured for lock timeouts was unable
|
|
to grant a lock in the allowed time.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD</b><ul compact><li>The database handle has been invalidated because a replication election
|
|
unrolled a committed transaction.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>DB_REP_LOCKOUT</b><ul compact><li>The operation was blocked by client/master synchronization.</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>If the underlying database was not of type Btree; or if an
|
|
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
