I thought I’d compile a list of Redis commands that can be used to set strings. Each command has its own specific use, and so the command used will depend on the situation.
In any case, here are 14 commands that set strings in Redis.
Continue readingIf you have a table in MariaDB with a generated column, you can use the following methods to find out its definition.
Continue readingI decided to compile a list of commands that can be used to get the string value from a key in Redis. These are all string commands – commands that can be used when working with strings. In other words, the assumption is that the key holds a string value.
Continue readingIf you’re getting an error that reads “WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value” when calling either the SUNION command or the SUNIONSTORE command in Redis, it’s probably because you’re passing a key with the wrong data type.
To fix this issue, make sure that each key that you pass holds a set.
Continue readingWhen working with Redis, we have multiple ways to return the members of a set. Here are 3 ways to return the members of a set in Redis.
Continue readingIf you know the name of a key in Redis, but you want to find out it’s type (eg, string, list, hash, set, etc), look no further than the TYPE command. This command returns the string representation of the type of the value at the given key.
If you ever find yourself in the situation where you need to get a random key when using Redis, take a look at the RANDOMKEY command.
This command returns a random key from the currently selected database.
Continue readingRedis provides a couple of commands that allow us to sort the elements in a list, set, or sorted set.
The SORT command is probably the most obvious, and does exactly what its namesake promises. However, there’s also a SORT_RO command, which is a read-only variant of the SORT command.
In PostgreSQL, we can use the + operator to add one or more minutes to a time value.
By “time” value, this could be an actual time value, a timestamp, or an interval. We can also add minutes to a date value or a date and time combination.
There are a couple of commands that enable us to rename a key in Redis. The one we use will depend on whether or not we want to overwrite any existing keys.
