Redis access from MS Excel?

Question

I would like to use redis to query data from commandline, scripts, web and from within spreadsheets. I can find good examples for all but spreadsheets... I don't quite know where to start for access from a MS Excel spreadsheet, though. Google is failing me.

Please let me know how you would suggest doing this, thanks!

p.s. for those unfamiliar redis is a key-value datastore described here: http://code.google.com/p/redis/

Answer 1

I think I found what I want with XLLoop http://xlloop.sourceforge.net/

Answer 2

make yourself a RESTful/SOAP based webservice to wrap around the redis functionality you want to deploy, and then access it from excel.
