Cassandra: Comments

Comments are used to document your code. Cassandra supports both single line and multi-line comments.

Single line comments

Single line comments begin with either double dashes (--) or double slash (//).

Multi line comments

Multi line comments place in between  /* and */

Example

-- This is a comment

// This is a comment too

/* This is

   a multi-line comment */

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS cassandratutorial.employee (
  id INT, -- Id of the employee
  firstName VARCHAR, // First name of the employee
  PRIMARY KEY((id, firstName)) /*
          Primary key of the employee
          */
) WITH comment = 'Table to store Employee information';
