REDIS in python

Question

I have never used REDIS so excuse my ignorance. REDIS is supposed to store (keys,values) to disk and it's better in speed than mysqldb in queries. My questions are :

-Can I save the REDIS db not in the primary disk but in an external (should i do this by installing redis not in the primary's disk location ?)

-Is there an API where I can see the stored data (something like sql's phpmyadmin ) ?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, Redis is a in-memory DB, that is, all the DB is stored in memory but It save the data to disk based on several algorithms.

So, to store in a different disk you only need to set the destination in your redis config file.

Example of redis conf file: https://raw.github.com/antirez/redis/2.6/redis.conf

dbfilename /my/path/dump.rdb

About the redis API, you can use the redis-cli, It's a friendly Command Line interface for redis that It's included in the redis installation. But if you prefer something more "Graphical", take a look to http://redisdesktop.com/ a Open Source GUI for Redis.

I recommend to you a look to Redis QuickStart guide

To find out how redis save to disk, search for "SNAPSHOTTING" section in config file. The process is managed by redis based on your config. For further details: redis.io/topics/persistence

You need to pass it the config file: "redis-server /path/myconfigfile.conf", see "Starting Redis" section in redis QuickStart guide
