Using CQL in DataStax Studio
The notebook tutorial Working with CQL is installed with Studio. The tutorial provides hands-on steps to create and interact with data in a DSE cluster by writing and executing CQL code in a notebook. This interactive notebook provides steps to use CQL in DataStax Studio to:
-
select CQL as the language to enable intelligent editor features.
-
view the CQL schema.
-
use CQL templates and schema-aware content assist to help you form valid CQL statements:
-
Propose valid CQL keywords.
-
Propose valid table names anywhere a table can be referenced in a CQL statement.
-
Propose column names anywhere a table can be referenced.
-
-
identify errors with DSE domain-specific validations when CQL statements violate a constraint.
-
view results in table view or different styles of charts.
-
view results as grid (
) to download results in CSV format. -
view results as JSON (
) to download JSON.
You can use the keyspace menu to select the keyspace or specify the CQL USE statement. The following rules apply to USE statements in Studio.
-
USE statements apply only to the current cell.
-
A USE statement overrides the default keyspace setting for all statements that follow the USE statement within that cell.
-
The keyspace selected in the keyspace drop down menu applies only to the current cell.
-
The selected keyspace is copied to new cells created below an existing CQL cell.
-
If a default keyspace is not selected, and there are no USE statements in the cell, all statements must be fully qualified to include the desired keyspace.
