Connect to your database
Connect to DataStax Astra DB the way you want. Use the Stargate Data APIs (schemaless JSON Documents, REST, or GraphQL) or JavaScript SDK from your application, language-specific drivers for server-side code, or the CQL console for direct interaction.
|
You must create a database or be granted access to a database by another user before establishing connections. |
