Answer 1

Redis database is not an equivalent of database names in DBMS like mysql. It is a way to create isolation and namespacing for the keys, and only provides index based naming, not custom names like my_database.

By default, redis has 0-15 indexes for databases, you can change that number databases NUMBER in redis.conf.

And then you use SELECT command to select the database you want to work on.
