Syntax conventions Description

Syntax conventions	Description
UPPERCASE	Literal keyword, unless bold. If bold, it is a variable. For example, `DESCRIBE KEYSPACE KEYSPACE_NAME;` includes the CQL keywords `DESCRIBE KEYSPACE` and the variable `KEYSPACE_NAME`. If you ran this command, you would replace `KEYSPACE_NAME` with the name of the keyspace you want to describe, such as `DESCRIBE KEYSPACE customers;`.
Lowercase	Not literal
`< >` or bold	Often represents a variable placeholder that you must replace with a user-defined value. However, angle brackets are also required to surround data types in a set, list, map, or tuple.
`[]`	Optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.
`( )`	A group of options you can choose from. Do not type the parentheses.
`\|`	Separates alternative elements when you can choose one of several elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the vertical bar.
`...`	A repeatable syntax element. Can be reused as often as required.
`'`	Single quotation marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements, such as `'example_string'`. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case. Additionally, single quotation marks are used in Search CQL to surround an entire XML schema declaration. For example: `' <schema> ... </schema> '`
`{ <key> : <value> }`	Curly braces enclose map collections or key value pairs. A colon separates the key and the value.
`<datatype2`	Angle brackets enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma.
`;`	Marks the end of a CQL statement.
`[--]`	Separate command line options from command arguments with two hyphens. This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.
`@<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'`	Search CQL only: Identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrConfig files.
