CQL (Cassandra Query Language) is used to interact with and query Cassandra tables. Its syntax is similar to SQL, helping to lower the learning curve to working with Cassandra. Despite their similarities, in many cases CQL behaves very differently from SQL, so it is important to read the documentation before going too far.
Some of the more useful links to documentation on CQL:
- Official Apache Cassandra project doc on CQL
- What's New In CQL 3.0, from the Datastax Dev Blog
- CQL cheat sheet, from Acunu
