MOVE

Usage:
MOVE key db [ REPLACE ]
Complexity:
O(1)
Since:

ACL Categories:
@fast, @keyspace, @write

Move key from the currently selected database (see SELECT) to the specified destination database. When key already exists in the destination database, or it does not exist in the source database, it does nothing. It is possible to use MOVE as a locking primitive because of this.

The caller must have access to the current and the destination databases. See database permissions.

Reply

One of the following:

  • Integer: 1 if key was moved.
  • Integer: 0 if key already exists in the destination database, or it does not exist in the source database.
