Apache Cassandra with DBine
How to connect DBine to Apache Cassandra and what you can do once it's connected. This page is written from what the Apache Cassandra driver says about itself, so it matches the version of DBine you download.

- Pick Apache Cassandra in the list of engines.
- Fill in the fields below, press Test connection and then Save.
