Redis is an acronym for Remote Dictionary Server.

  • Hash, (if you have objects representing users in a web application, instead of using different keys for name, surname, email, password, use a single hash with all the required fields)
  • Sorted Set

Management

The below paragraph shows you the difference between SQL and Redis Query.

Insert

SQL: 

insert into Products (id, name, description, price) values (10200, “ZXYW”,“Description for ZXYW”, 300);

Redis: 

MULTI
HMSET product:10200 name ZXYW desc “Description for ZXYW” price 300
ZADD product_list 10200 product:10200
ZADD product_price 300 product:10200
EXEC

Get / Query

Equality

SQL: 

select * from Products where id = 10200

Redis: 

HGETALL product:10200

Range

SQL: 

select * from Product where price < 300

Redis: 

ZRANGEBYSCORE product_price 0 300
  • Returns the keys 
HGETALL product:10001
HGETALL product:10002
HGETALL product:10003

The same idea can be used to perform theta join (complex join)
