Key differences between SQL and CQL
| Characteristic | SQL | CQL |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses a declarative syntax with structured queries. | Uses a syntax similar to SQL but tailored for Cassandra's data model. |
| Paradigm | Relational database management system (RDBMS) paradigm. | NoSQL database paradigm, designed for distributed systems. |
| Typing | Strongly typed with predefined schemas. | Also strongly typed but allows for more flexible schema designs. |
| Performance | Optimized for complex queries and transactions. | Optimized for high write and read throughput in distributed environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various languages. | Limited libraries, primarily focused on Cassandra and its ecosystem. |
| Community and support | Large community with extensive documentation and support. | Smaller community, but growing with increasing adoption of Cassandra. |
| Learning curve | Generally easier to learn for those familiar with databases. | May have a steeper learning curve due to NoSQL concepts. |
