EXEC(3valkey)

✨ EXEC — the big finale 💅

okay so real talk, bestie: this is EXEC from the valkey command manual (section 3valkey), and it's basically the "go" button for your transaction. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

EXEC

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no flags, just send it. 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

EXEC executes all previously queued commands in a transaction and restores the connection state back to normal. like, the queue? consumed. the connection? back to business as usual. periodt.

and when you're using WATCH, EXEC will only execute those commands if the watched keys were not modified — which is the whole check-and-set mechanism thing. it's giving "I'll do it, but only if nobody touched my stuff." iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

🔥 REPLY

RESP2

you get one of these:

• valkey-protocol(7) Array reply: each element is the reply to each of the commands in the atomic transaction. 🎀
• valkey-protocol(7) Nil reply: the transaction was aborted because a WATCHed key was touched. 😭

⭐ COMPLEXITY

Depends on commands in the transaction.

(yeah, it's a little mysterious. the complexity is whatever you put in there. you did this. 👑)
