cqlsh

create keyspace dev with replication = {'class':'SimpleStrategy','replication_factor':1};
use dev;
create table emp (empid int primary key,emp_first varchar, emp_last varchar, emp_dept varchar);

insert into emp (empid, emp_first, emp_last, emp_dept) values (1,'rev','kumar','eng');
insert into emp (empid, emp_first, emp_last, emp_dept) values (2,'smith','reddy','eng');
insert into emp (empid, emp_first, emp_last, emp_dept) values (3,'shyam','sunder','CA');
