Redis - Sets

Redis Sets are an unordered collection of unique strings. Unique means sets does not allow repetition of data in a key.

In Redis set add, remove, and test for the existence of members in O(1) (constant time regardless of the number of elements contained inside the Set). The maximum length of a pst is 2³² - 1 elements (4294967295, more than 4 bilpon of elements per set).

Example

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SADD tutorials redis 
(integer) 1 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SADD tutorials mongodb 
(integer) 1 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SADD tutorials mysql 
(integer) 1 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SADD tutorials mysql 
(integer) 0 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SMEMBERS tutorials  
1) "mysql" 
2) "mongodb" 
3) "redis"

In the above example, three values are inserted in Redis set named ‘tutorials’ by the command SADD.
