Redis GETRANGE Command Explained

In Redis, the GETRANGE command allows us to get part of a string at a given key, starting and ending at the specified offsets.

The GETRANGE command replaced the SUBSTR command, which basically does the same thing. The SUBSTR command is now considered deprecated (as of Redis 2.0.0).

Redis DECRBY Command Explained

In Redis, the DECRBY command decrements the value of a key by the specified amount.

If the key doesn’t exist, DECRBY creates the key with a value of 0 and then decrements it by the specified amount.

An error occurs if the key contains a value of the wrong type or contains a string that cannot be represented as integer. DECRBY operations are limited to 64 bit signed integers.

Redis INCRBYFLOAT Command Explained

In Redis, the INCRBYFLOAT command increments a floating point number by the specified amount. More specifically, it increments the string representing a floating point number stored at the specified key.

If the key doesn’t exist, INCRBYFLOAT creates the key with a value of 0 and then increments it by the specified amount.

An error occurs if the key contains a value of the wrong type, or if the current key content or the specified increment are not parsable as a double precision floating point number.

Redis PERSIST Command Explained

The Redis PERSIST command removes any existing timeout on a given key. It returns an integer reply of 1 if the timeout was removed, or 0 if the key doesn’t exist or doesn’t have an associated timeout.

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.
