Checking database status
Use the ADMIN COMMAND 'status' command to retrieve generic information about the solidDB® server, including statistics information about memory usage, process size, transaction count, cache count, user count, and database operations.
Procedure
To retrieve generic information about the solidDB® server, issue the following command:
ADMIN COMMAND 'status'
For example:
solsql> ADMIN COMMAND 'status';

The result set fields are described below:
Memory statistics shows the amount of memory solidDB® has allocated from the operating system. This number does not include the size of the solidDB® executable itself.
Transaction count statistics shows the number of different transaction operations since startup.
Cache count statistics shows the cache hit rate and number of cache operations since startup. The cache hit rate is typically above 95 percent. If it is below 95 percent, consider increasing the cache size.
Database statistics shows a number of selected database operations since startup.
The Index writes: After last merge shows the size of the solidDB® multiversioning storage tree, known as the Bonsai Tree. The smaller this value is, the better the server performance. A large value indicates that there is a long-running transaction active in the engine. An excessively large Bonsai Tree can cause performance degradation. For details on how to reduce Bonsai Tree size, see Reducing Bonsai Tree size by committing transactions.
User count statistics shows the current number of connected users, the maximum number of concurrent users since startup, and the total number of user connections since startup.
