Problem
Logical databases (db0, db1, ...) are only shown by numeric index. In real projects each index serves a different purpose (sessions, cache, queues, etc.), but there's no way to tell which is which without digging through docs or code.
Proposal
Let users assign an alias, short description, and optional tags to each logical database (via UI and/or a shareable config file, e.g. redis-db-map.json).
Instead of manually typing/selecting the DB by index, show a dropdown/list of logical databases (by alias) when switching databases.
Example
| DB |
Alias |
Description |
Tags |
| db0 |
Sessions |
User sessions & tokens |
auth, session |
| db1 |
Cache |
Application cache |
cache |
| db2 |
Queues |
Background job queues |
queue, jobs |
| db3 |
Rate Limit |
Request rate limiting |
rate-limit |
Benefits
- Faster onboarding, fewer mistakes (wrong DB selected)
- Self-documenting database browser
- Config file can be shared/versioned across the team
