# Cassandra

Cassandra connection helps you connect to a **Cassandra database** and run queries directly from Infoveave.



## Adding a Cassandra Connection

To create a new Cassandra connection:
<Steps>
1. Go to the **Database** section.
2. Select **Cassandra** from the available connectors.
3. Fill in the required connection details in the **New Cassandra Connection** form.
</Steps>



## Connection Parameters

When setting up a Cassandra connection, you need to provide the following details:

| Field        | Description |
|--------------|-------------|
| **Name**     | A unique name to identify your connection. |
| **Port**     | Port number for Cassandra (default is usually `9042`). |
| **Server**   | The Cassandra server endpoint or cluster node. |
| **Username** | Your Cassandra username. |
| **Password** | The corresponding password for the username. |
| **Database** | The keyspace you want to connect to in Cassandra. |
| **Schema**   | The schema to be used inside the database (optional). |



## Steps to Validate and Save
<Steps>
1. After filling in the details, click **Validate** to verify the connection.
2. If validation succeeds, click **Save** to store the connection.
3. You can now use Cassandra as a datasource in your Infoveave workspace.
</Steps>



## Example Use Case

With a Cassandra connection configured, you can:

- Query distributed datasets stored across clusters.  
- Use Cassandra Query Language (CQL) to fetch and analyze high-volume operational data.  
- Integrate Cassandra data into Infoboards for dashboards, reports, and interactive insights.
