Create, read, update, and delete data (CRUD) using CQL in Amazon Keyspaces - Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)

Create, read, update, and delete data (CRUD) using CQL in Amazon Keyspaces

In this step of the tutorial, you'll learn how to insert, read, update, and delete data in an Amazon Keyspaces table using CQL data manipulation language (DML) statements. In Amazon Keyspaces, you can only create DML statements in CQL language. In this tutorial, you'll practice running DML statements using the cqlsh-expansion with AWS CloudShell in the AWS Management Console.

  • Inserting data – This section covers inserting single and multiple records into a table using the INSERT statement. You'll learn how to upload data from a CSV file and verify successful inserts using SELECT queries.

  • Reading data – Here, you'll explore different variations of the SELECT statement to retrieve data from a table. Topics include selecting all data, selecting specific columns, filtering rows based on conditions using the WHERE clause, and understanding simple and compound conditions.

  • Updating data – In this section, you'll learn how to modify existing data in a table using the UPDATE statement. You'll practice updating single and multiple columns while understanding restrictions around updating primary key columns.

  • Deleting data – The final section covers deleting data from a table using the DELETEstatement. You'll learn how to delete specific cells, entire rows, and the implications of deleting data versus deleting the entire table or keyspace.

Throughout the tutorial, you'll find examples, tips, and opportunities to practice writing your own CQL queries for various scenarios.
