Learning Apache Cassandra - Second Edition

Inserting and reading data

To insert data into the table, run the following command:

INSERT INTO personal_info (id, name, dob) VALUES ( 1 , 'Alice' , '02-25-1954' );

This will insert a record for a user named Alice whose date of birth is 02-25-1954 and has been assigned the id 1. To read the data from the table, run the following query:

SELECT * FROM personal_info WHERE id = 1;

You should get an output that looks like this:

Voila! You have created your first keyspace and table, inserted a record, and queried the record back.
