String types

text

Use the text type for UTF-8 encoded strings.

ascii

Use the ascii type for strings of US-ASCII characters.

varchar (partial support)

The varchar type is an alias for text and is used for UTF-8 encoded strings.

The Data API can’t create columns of varchar type. You must use CQL directly instead of the Data API. Alternatively, consider using the text type.

The Data API can only read, write, update, and delete values in existing varchar columns.
