Thanks for pointing this out. I had a small bug which didn't let it
succeed, but now it's been fixed and committed; I've also added a
bulkdata.sql test script in the code to show an example.
Anyway, thx, compiled and installed (just for fun, i'm not familiar with
redis, and i'm not a coder)
Redis is great for session management as it allows you to set an expiry
for each key. So by using redis_fdw, you don't need to do multiple
queries to determine of the session is still valid. e.g.:
-- use a string (key-value) dataset for user sessions
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE rsessions(
sessid TEXT,
value TEXT,
expiry INT
) SERVER localredis
OPTIONS (tabletype 'string');
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE rsessions ALTER COLUMN sessid OPTIONS (ADD param 'key');
-- a user table in postgres, can contain a whole bunch of other fields.
CREATE TEMP TABLE users (
userid INT,
username TEXT,
sessid TEXT
);
--
-- get user's details at the same time as determining if they're session
is still valid
--
WITH u AS (SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'foo')
SELECT u.*, r.value, r.expiry
FROM rsessions r, u
WHERE r.sessid = (SELECT u.sessid FROM u);
If the user's session is still valid then a row will be returned (Redis
automatically destroys the key on expiry).
--
-- to reset the expiry timeout for the user
--
UPDATE rsessions SET expiry = 40 WHERE sessid = $1;
