Creating a connection in DataStax Studio
A connection to a DSE cluster is required.
Each notebook has only one connection. Each connection can have multiple notebooks.
|
You can configure more than one host in a Studio connection. Hosts initialize the Cassandra driver connection, so more than one host provides redundancy and failover protection. |
A notebook persists its data to a DSE cluster.
- DSE Graph
-
The connection identifies a particular graph.
For notebooks using DSE Graph, the connection must be changed to use a different graph.
- CQL
-
The connection identifies a database instance.
For notebooks using CQL, the keyspace and table can be changed within the notebook.
-
