💖 DBSIZE — the valkey command where we count our little keys 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the valkey command manual, and today's main character is dbsize 🎀 she's simple, she's fast, she's iconic, and she tells you exactly how many keys are chilling in your database rn.

🦋 NAME

dbsize — Returns the number of keys in the database.

like. that's it. that's her whole job. and she does it flawlessly. no cap. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

DBSIZE

Return the number of keys in the currently-selected database.

(yeah, currently-selected — so if you SELECT'd a different db, that's the one she's counting, bestie 🫶)

✨ REPLY

valkey-protocol(7) Integer reply: the number of keys in the currently-selected database.

so you get back a plain ol' integer. a whole number. the count. nothing weird, nothing fancy, just the number 💚

🔥 COMPLEXITY

O(1)

not O(n). not O(log n). O(1) 🌈 she does NOT loop through your keys, she just knows. main character energy fr fr. she is constant time and that is so slay of her 👑
