Redis PTTL Command Explained

In Redis, the PTTL command returns the remaining time to live of a given key, in milliseconds.

If the key doesn’t have a timeout, an integer reply of -1 is returned. If the key doesn’t exist, -2 is returned.

PTTL works the same as the TTL command, except that it returns the result in milliseconds instead of seconds.

Redis PEXPIRETIME Command Explained

The Redis PEXPIRETIME command returns the absolute Unix timestamp in milliseconds at which the given key will expire. This is the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 until the expiry time of the key.

This works exactly the same as EXPIRETIME, but it returns the Unix timestamp in milliseconds instead of seconds.

The PEXPIRETIME command was introduced in Redis 7.0.0.

How to Create a Generated Column in Oracle

Oracle Database supports the creation of generated columns. A generated column is a column whose value is derived from an expression that computes values from other columns.

In Oracle Database, generated columns are usually referred to as virtual columns. Generated columns can also be referred to as computed columns in other RDBMSs (such as SQL Server). Either way, they do pretty much the same thing – they contain an expression that computes a value based on values in other columns in the same table.

Redis PEXPIREAT Command Explained

The Redis PEXPIREAT command sets a timeout as a Unix timestamp on a given key in milliseconds. It works the same as the EXPIREAT command, except that it sets the timeout in milliseconds instead of seconds.

It’s also similar to the PEXPIRE command, but with an absolute Unix timestamp instead of a time interval.
