REDIS in python

I have never used REDIS so excuse my ignorance. REDIS is supposed to store (keys,values) to disk and it's better in speed than mysqldb in queries. My questions are :

-Can I save the REDIS db not in the primary disk but in an external (should i do this by installing redis not in the primary's disk location ?)

-Is there an API where I can see the stored data (something like sql's phpmyadmin ) ?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, Redis is a in-memory DB, that is, all the DB is stored in memory but It save the data to disk based on several algorithms.

So, to store in a different disk you only need to set the destination in your redis config file.

Example of redis conf file: https://raw.github.com/antirez/redis/2.6/redis.conf

dbfilename /my/path/dump.rdb

About the redis API, you can use the redis-cli, It's a friendly Command Line interface for redis that It's included in the redis installation. But if you prefer something more "Graphical", take a look to http://redisdesktop.com/ a Open Source GUI for Redis.

I recommend to you a look to Redis QuickStart guide
