kv
count
Count visible KV keys.
strata kv countdb.kv.count(prefix: 'Optional[str | bytes]' = None, *, as_of: 'Optional[int]' = None, as_of_time: 'Optional[TimeLike]' = None) -> 'int'wire kv_count
Counts visible KV keys in the selected branch and space, optionally constrained by a key prefix.
Status commands return a scalar or compact status payload and do not mutate database state.
To see the complete help for this command, run:
strata kv count --helphelp(db.kv.count)
Example
Count the visible keys.
strata kv put a 1strata kv put b 2strata kv count
_ = db.kv.put("a", "1")_ = db.kv.put("b", "2")db.kv.count()
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| as_of | integer or null | no | Read as of a position on the logical commit timeline - the `timestamp` from `history` output, not the `version`, and never a calendar date. To read as of a real time, use `as_of_time` instead. |
| as_of_time | integer or null | no | Read as of a real time: a wall-clock instant in microseconds since the Unix epoch (UTC), as reported by `committed_at` on a write ack or on any `history` row. Resolves to the commit at or before that instant, and fails rather than guessing if the instant falls outside the branch's recorded history. Mutually exclusive with `as_of`. |
| branch | string or null | no | Target branch. Defaults to the executor handle branch. |
| prefix | any | no | Optional key prefix. |
| space | string or null | no | Target product space. Defaults to `"default"`. |
