DataStax Studio 6.8

DataStax Studio is an interactive developer tool for CQL (Cassandra Query Language), Spark SQL, and DSE Graph. Developers and analysts collaborate by mixing code, documentation, query results, and visualizations in self-documenting notebooks.

Supported platforms

DataStax Studio 6.8 supports Astra DB and DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.9, 6.8, and 5.1.

Support for earlier versions of DataStax Studio

DataStax Studio version 6.7 and earlier have all reached End of Service Life, and they are no longer supported. Critical bug fixes and security patches are applied only to 6.8, which is in maintenance mode and not actively developed.

  • DataStax Studio 6.7 (EOSL) supported DSE 6.7 (EOSL).

  • DataStax Studio 6.0 (EOSL) supported DSE 6.0 (EOSL).

  • DataStax Studio 2.0 (EOSL) supports DSE 5.1, but DataStax Studio 6.8 is recommended to ensure you have the latest security updates and bug fixes.

DataStax Studio features

CQL in Studio

For CQL, use DataStax Studio to visually create and navigate database objects, create complex queries, and tune CQL queries. The schema helps you visualize the keyspaces in a tree-like view.

Advanced workloads in Studio

For DSE Graph, you can use DataStax Studio to explore and view large datasets. The code for DSE Graph is written in the Gremlin graph traversal language and is executed by the Gremlin Server that is a part of the DSE Graph component. The graph schema view helps you visualize the graph organization and connections.

For DSE Analytics, you can write, test, and run Spark SQL queries against DSE clusters.

Other features

The intelligent code editor provides syntax highlighting, validation, intelligent code completion, configuration options, and query profiling.

Self-documenting notebooks mix runnable code, documentation (Markdown text), and visualizations for query results. This rich interactive environment provides an intuitive interface for developers and analysts to collaborate and test theories.
