Tableau Connector for Redis

Build 24.0.9064

RunCommand

Passes a command to the Redis server for direct execution. Use standard redis-cli syntax.

Running Redis Commands Directly

You can use this procedure to run a command directly that isn't exposed by the usual CRUD operations on tables. For example, the FLUSHDB command removes all keys from the current database:

EXECUTE RunCommand @CommandLine = 'FLUSHDB'

You can also run commands which require parameters by separating them with spaces, the same as in redis-cli. Double-quotes are also available if you need to embed spaces into a parameter value:

EXECUTE RunCommand @CommandLine = 'INFO "CPU"'

The connector will process the results of the command and return them in the appropriate format. For cases like FLUSHDB or INFO where the result is a simple value or a flat array, each element will be returned as a separate row.

'# CPU'
'used_cpu_sys:1272.08'
'used_cpu_user:537.84'
'used_cpu_sys_children:4.81'
'used_cpu_user_children:98.89'

More complex results, like the values returned from the COMMAND command, will be separated by row and then converted to JSON for final output.

'["slowlog","-2",[["admin"]],"0","0","0"]'
'["persist","2",[["write","fast"]],"1","1","1"]'
'["zrevrangebylex","-4",[["readonly"]],"1","1","1"]'
'["sinter","-2",[["readonly","sort_for_script"]],"1","-1","1"]'
'["lrange","4",[["readonly"]],"1","1","1"]'
'["hmset","-4",[["write","denyoom","fast"]],"1","1","1"]'
'["lpush","-3",[["write","denyoom","fast"]],"1","1","1"]'
'["zremrangebyscore","4",[["write"]],"1","1","1"]'
'["FT.DICTDEL","-1",[["readonly"]],"1","1","1"]'
...
