You will need to fill out the following fields:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Data Source Name/Description | This is a friendly name you want to apply to this Data Source. |
Host Name | Enter the IP Address/Hostname of the machine where Apache Cassandra is running. |
Port Number | Specify the port number of Apache Cassandra. By default, the port number is 9042. |
Keyspace Name | Select the Dataset from your project you want to connect to. |
Once you specify your credentials, click the "Test Connect" button at the bottom. A new popup will show up, where you will need to specify your User Name and Password.
Once the username and password are specfied, click on OK. You will see a "Connection established" message popup if WinSQL is able to connect.
