Take a look at how we store users. We increment a global user id each time a new user is created and store the user data in an object with the name user:<userId> and we store the userId in a sorted set. You need to do something similar for businesses. Everytime a new business is created assign it a unique id and store it at business:<businessId> and then also store it for the user at uid:<uid>:businesses. It would look something like below in nodebb code. This is obviously pseudocode. incr businessId in database setObject businness:bussinessId businessData sortedSetAdd uid:<uid>:businesses Date.now() businessId Now you can retrieve a users business with the getSortedSetRange commands using the key uid:<uid>:businesses.
