Add Module To Database

Modules add additional functionality to Redis databases for specific use cases. You can enable modules when you create a database.

Automatically enabled capabilities in Redis 8

Databases created with or upgraded to Redis version 8 or later automatically enable the capabilities (modules) bundled with Redis Software as follows:

Create a database with a module

You can only add modules to a database when you first create it. You cannot add modules to an existing database.

Prerequisites

• [Installed the module on the cluster]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/install/add-module-to-cluster" >}})
• [Upgraded the module]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/install/upgrade-module" >}}) to the latest version

Create a database and enable capabilities

In the Redis Software Cluster Manager UI, follow these steps to add modules to a database:

1. From the Databases screen, select Quick database or Create database.

2. In the Capabilities section, select one or more capabilities:

   {{<image filename="images/rs/screenshots/databases/quick-db-capabilities-7-8-2.png" alt="Select which capabilities to add to your database.">}}

   {{<note>}} You cannot use RediSearch 1.x and RediSearch 2.x in the same database. {{</note>}}

3. To use custom configuration for capabilities:

   1. Select Parameters.

   2. Enter the configuration options.

   3. Select Done.

4. Configure additional database settings.

   {{<note>}} Depending on the [features supported by an enabled module]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/enterprise-capabilities#module-feature-support" >}}), certain database configuration fields may not be available. {{</note>}}

5. Select Create.
