```
A literal term, as in WHERE k = 1.
This is an alternative to literal(Object) for custom type mappings. The provided registry should contain a codec that can format the value. Typically, this will be your session's registry, which is accessible via session.getContext().getCodecRegistry().

Throws:

CodecNotFoundException - if codecRegistry does not contain any codec that can handle value.

AttachmentPoint.getCodecRegistry()

literal

@NonNull
public static <T> Literal literal(@Nullable
                                           T value,
                                           @Nullable
                                           TypeCodec<T> codec)

A literal term, as in WHERE k = 1.

This is an alternative to literal(Object) for custom type mappings. The value will be turned into a string with TypeCodec.format(Object), and inlined in the query.

raw
```
@NonNull
public static Raw raw(@NonNull
                               String raw)
```
A raw CQL snippet.
The contents will be appended to the query as-is, without any syntax checking or escaping. This method should be used with caution, as it's possible to generate invalid CQL that will fail at execution time; on the other hand, it can be used as a workaround to handle new CQL features that are not yet covered by the query builder.

bindMarker
```
@NonNull
public static BindMarker bindMarker()
```
Creates an anonymous bind marker, which appears as ? in the generated CQL.

bindMarker

@NonNull
public static BindMarker bindMarker(@Nullable
                                             CqlIdentifier id)

Creates a named bind marker, which appears as :id in the generated CQL.

bindMarker

@NonNull
public static BindMarker bindMarker(@Nullable
                                             String name)

Shortcut for bindMarker(CqlIdentifier.fromCql(name))

udt

@NonNull
public static UserDefinedType udt(@NonNull
                                           CqlIdentifier name)

Shortcut to reference a UDT in methods that use a DataType, such as typeHint(Term, DataType) and Selector.cast(Selector, DataType).

udt

@NonNull
public static UserDefinedType udt(@NonNull
                                           String name)

Shortcut for udt(CqlIdentifier.fromCql(name)).

truncate

public static Truncate truncate(@NonNull
                                CqlIdentifier table)

Creates a new TRUNCATE query.

Parameters:: table - the name of the table to truncate.
Returns:: the truncation query.

```
public static Truncate truncate(@NonNull
                                String table)
```
Creates a new TRUNCATE query.
This is a shortcut for truncate(CqlIdentifier.fromCql(table)).

Parameters:

table - the name of the table to truncate.

Returns:

the truncation query.

truncate

public static Truncate truncate(@Nullable
                                CqlIdentifier keyspace,
                                @NonNull
                                CqlIdentifier table)

Creates a new TRUNCATE query.

Parameters:: keyspace - the name of the keyspace to use.; table - the name of the table to truncate.
Returns:: the truncation query.

truncate

public static Truncate truncate(@Nullable
                                String keyspace,
                                @NonNull
                                String table)

Creates a new TRUNCATE query.

This is a shortcut for truncate(CqlIdentifier.fromCql(keyspace), CqlIdentifier.fromCql(table)).

Parameters:: keyspace - the name of the keyspace to use.; table - the name of the table to truncate.
Returns:: the truncation query.
