Does Redis Software support logical databases using the SELECT command?

Question

Does Redis Software support the division of the dataset in logical databases?

Answer

Redis Software does not support logical databases within an existing database (SELECT). Databases all operate with a single DB ID, and the mechanism for creating new "namespaces" is creating new databases (that are running on the same shared hardware that supports the whole cluster). This gives better isolation than the DB ID approach, and the ability to efficiently run multiple databases on shared hardware is a big part of the Redis Software approach.
