MOVE key db

Move key from the currently selected database (see select(3valkey)) to the specified destination database. When key already exists in the destination database, or it does not exist in the source database, it does nothing. It is possible to use MOVE as a locking primitive because of this.

The caller must have access to the current and the destination databases. See valkey-acl(7) database permissions.

One of the following:

• valkey-protocol(7) Integer reply: 1 if key was moved.
• valkey-protocol(7) Integer reply: 0 if key already exists in the destination database, or it does not exist in the source database.
