This is the (apparently) undocumented attribute called > currentEntryCacheCount in the cn=monitor entry for each database. Hmm...this is a bit convoluted. You'd have to know the number of entries in advance, then make sure the entry cache size was configured to a larger number, then perform a search for all entries to force them into the cache, and finally read the count. Wouldn't it be easier to just use the search output to count the entries ? I suppose if you had a gazillion entries, so many that it would take a very long time to send them back to a client, then it might be worthwhile. You'd need to concoct a search that you knew would touch every entry but would not return any of them (a filter that is un-indexed and doesn't match any entry would do it).
