• Set(key []byte, value []byte) error - Sets a new value, the value is immediately written to the database.
• Get(key []byte) ([]byte, error) - Retrieves a value from the database.
• Stat() (*DataBaseStats, error) - Returns statistical information about the current database, such as the size and amount of entries.
