SCRIPT-LOAD(3valkey)

💖 SCRIPT-LOAD 💖

okay bestie, welcome to SCRIPT-LOAD(3valkey) — straight out of the Valkey Command Manual and honestly? she's giving "quiet overachiever." no drama, just vibes and a SHA1 digest. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

script-load — loads a server-side Lua script into the script cache. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

SCRIPT LOAD script

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: you load a script into the scripts cache without executing it. no running, no side effects, just storing. once it's in the cache, you can call it with valkey-evalsha(7) EVALSHA using the correct SHA1 digest of the script — literally exactly like what happens after the first successful invocation of valkey-eval(7) EVAL. same energy, no cap. 🔥

and like, the script is guaranteed to stay in the script cache forever (unless SCRIPT FLUSH is called, which is the one thing that can end this beautiful relationship 😭).

the command works the same way even if the script was already present in the script cache. no duplication, no fuss, she's unbothered. 👑

want the full lore on EVAL scripts? go read valkey-eval-intro(7) Introduction to Eval Scripts. it's the prequel, iykyk. 📖

🌈 REPLY 🌈

valkey-protocol(7) Bulk string reply: the SHA1 digest of the script added into the script cache. that's your receipt bestie, keep it safe. 🧾✨

---

⭐ COMPLEXITY ⭐

O(N) with N being the length in bytes of the script body. linear, honest, no hidden nonsense. 💫
