Connecting to databases
Use database connection information to connect to databases using DataStax Studio, cqlsh, or by using a sample application.
To connect to Apollo databases, obtain the database credentials from the DataStax Constellation console, and use one of the following methods to make the connection.
Choices | Options |
---|---|
I'm new to CQL, but want to use my database right now. | Write queries, visualize results, and inspect the database schema using DataStax Studio, which is integrated into your Apollo database. |
I know CQL and want to connect quickly to use my database. | Use the CQL shell to interact with your database using CQL. |
I have a DSE or DDAC cluster running and want to use the native CQL shell. | Install DataStax Enterprise (DSE) or DataStax Distribution of Apache Cassandra
(DDAC) locally or on a remote machine to interact with the database and run queries
using the CQL shell
(cqlsh ). |
I have an application and want to use the DataStax drivers. | Initialize one of the DataStax drivers to manage database connections for your application. |
