RESET

Syntax

RESET

Time complexity: O(1)

ACL categories: @fast, @connection

Clears connection-scoped state without closing the connection. Dragonfly:

• Aborts an active MULTI transaction and unwatches all keys.
• Removes channel and pattern Pub/Sub subscriptions.
• Exits MONITOR mode.
• Disables CLIENT TRACKING.
• Selects database 0.
• Switches the connection back to RESP2.
• Restores the default ACL identity and clears authentication.

If authentication is required, the client must call AUTH again after RESET. The command changes only connection state; it does not delete data.

Dragonfly v1.40 compatibility

Dragonfly preserves the name set with CLIENT SETNAME when the connection is reset. Valkey clears the client name.

Return

Simple string reply: RESET.

Examples

Abort a transaction without closing the connection:

dragonfly> MULTI
OK
dragonfly> SET key value
QUEUED
dragonfly> RESET
RESET
dragonfly> EXEC
(error) ERR EXEC without MULTI

RESET selects database 0 but does not delete data from the previously selected database:

dragonfly> SELECT 1
OK
dragonfly> SET reset:key value
OK
dragonfly> RESET
RESET
dragonfly> GET reset:key
(nil)
dragonfly> SELECT 1
OK
dragonfly> GET reset:key
"value"
