For example if you have in thedatabase the keys "foo" and "foobar" the command "KEYS foo<code name="code" class="python">*</code>"will return "foo foobar".</blockquote> |
| | 31 | <blockquote>Note that while the time complexity for this operation is O(n)the constant times are pretty low. For example Redis runningon an entry level laptop can scan a 1 million keys databasein 40 milliseconds. <b>Still it's better to consider this one of |

| | 33 | <blockquote>In other words this command is intended only for debugging and *special* operations like creating a script to change the DB schema. Don't use it in your normal code. Use Redis <a href="Sets.html">Sets</a> in order to group together a subset of objects.</blockquote> |
