This post will introduce you to some usages of Set in Redis.The Set is a unordered set,it 

means that the

data was stored in the database randomly.And there are 15 commands you can use in Redis,the same as Hash.

　　

　　For storing the data to database,we can use the command

sadd to finish the job.The

sadd is very powerful,we

can not only use it to add a single value to the key,but also multi values.For example,I add 11 to the key named

set-1 at first.Laterly I add 12 ~15 too.So easy the command is.When you execute the sadd command , the client

will return the amount of the set.

sadd set-1 11sadd set-1 12 13 14 15

 　　After executing the command sadd,it will return a integer to show us the amount of this set.But what can we

know the members of this set?We can use smembers to get all of the members in the set.

　　There are two commands to help us to remove the members of the set.The

spop 

command will remove a or multi

member of the set randomly.As the following picture,I remove a member from the set-1 firstly,and then I remove two

members from the set-1.At last,we will find that the set-1 only has 11 and 13.

srem,the second command of removing members from the set,can remove the members 

from the set by your own

ideas,not randomly.I removed the last two members from the set-1 by this command.At this time,I want to get all of the

members of the set-1 ,you will get the information that the set is empty.

srem set-1 11 13

 

　　When we are coding , the most things we do is to judge a member whether exists in the 

set.In Redis,you can do this

thing as well.The set-1 is empty now,I judge the member 11 whether exists in the set-11,it returns 0 meaning 11 is not

the member of the set.After adding members to this set,the second time to judge returns 1 meaning 11 is the member of set-1.

 　　As all you know,we use the Property length or the method count to get how many members in the array by using C#.

In Redis,we get the numbers of members in a set by using scard.

scard set-1

 　　The commands I will show you next needs at lease two sets,so I have to add another one.And you will be familiar with

the set opreation of Mathematical.Command sinter will return the command members both set-1 and set-2 contain.Command

sunion will return all of the members both set-1 and set-2 contian.Command sdiff will return the difference members from the sets.

sinter set-1 set-2sunion set-1 set-2sdiff set-1 set-2sdiff set-2 set-1

 

　　We can store the result of the set opreation too.

 　　After showing the native commands,we should turn to the usage of StackExchange.Redis.

//sadd smembers            db.SetAdd("set-1", 11);            var set_1 = new RedisValue[4] {
   12,13,14,15 };            db.SetAdd("set-1", set_1);            Console.WriteLine("the members of the set-1 :");            foreach (var item in db.SetMembers("set-1"))            {                Console.WriteLine(item);            }            //spop srem            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("the value was poped is {0}", db.SetPop("set-1")));            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("the value was poped is {0}", db.SetPop("set-1")));            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("the value was poped is {0}", db.SetPop("set-1")));                        db.SetRemove("set-1", db.SetMembers("set-1"));            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("amount of set-1 is {0}", db.SetMembers("set-1").Length));            //sismember            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("11 {0} the member of set-1",db.SetContains("set-1",11)?"is":"isn't"));            var set_1_again = new RedisValue[5] {
   11, 12, 13, 14, 15 };            db.SetAdd("set-1", set_1_again);            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("11 {0} the member of set-1", db.SetContains("set-1", 11) ? "is" : "isn't"));            //scard            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("amount of set-1 is {0}", db.SetLength("set-1")));            var set_2 = new RedisValue[4] { 13, 14, 15,16 };            db.SetAdd("set-2", set_2);            //sinter            Console.WriteLine("the result of intersect:");            foreach (var item in db.SetCombine(SetOperation.Intersect, new RedisKey[2] { "set-1", "set-2" }))            {                Console.WriteLine(item);            }            // sunoin             Console.WriteLine("the result of union:");            foreach (var item in db.SetCombine(SetOperation.Union, new RedisKey[2] { "set-1", "set-2" }))            {                Console.WriteLine(item);            }            //sdiff            Console.WriteLine("the result of difference1:");            foreach (var item in db.SetCombine(SetOperation.Difference, new RedisKey[2] { "set-1", "set-2" }))            {                Console.WriteLine(item);            }            Console.WriteLine("the result of difference2:");            foreach (var item in db.SetCombine(SetOperation.Difference, new RedisKey[2] { "set-2", "set-1" }))            {                Console.WriteLine(item);            }

　　When you debug the codes,the results are as follow.
