<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB->key_range()</code> 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 <code class="methodname">DB->key_range()</code> method fills in a structure of type DB_KEY_RANGE.
The following data fields are available from the DB_KEY_RANGE
structure:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>double less;</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
A value between 0 and 1, the proportion of keys less than the
specified key.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>double equal;</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
A value between 0 and 1, the proportion of keys equal to the specified
key.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>double greater;</strong></span>
</p>
<p>
A value between 0 and 1, the proportion of keys greater than the
specified key.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Values are in the range of 0 to 1; for example, if the field <span class="bold"><strong>less</strong></span> is 0.05, 5% of the keys in the database
are less than the <span class="bold"><strong>key</strong></span> parameter. The
value for <span class="bold"><strong>equal</strong></span> will be zero if there
is no matching key, and will be non-zero otherwise.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB->key_range()</code> <span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

If the operation is part of an application-specified transaction, the
<span class="bold"><strong>txnid</strong></span> parameter is a transaction
handle returned from <a class="xref" href="txnbegin.html" title="DB_ENV->txn_begin()">DB_ENV->txn_begin()</a>;
if the operation is part of a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store group, the

otherwise NULL. If no transaction handle is specified, but the
operation occurs in a transactional database, the operation will be
implicitly transaction protected. The <code class="methodname">DB->key_range()</code> method does not
retain the locks it acquires for the life of the transaction, so
estimates may not be repeatable.

<p>
When a client synchronizes with the master, it is possible for committed
transactions to be rolled back. This invalidates all the database and cursor
handles opened in the replication environment. Once this occurs, an attempt to use
such a handle will
return <code class="literal">DB_REP_HANDLE_DEAD</code>.
The application will need to discard the handle and open a new one in order to
continue processing.
