Create KeySpace

( same as db in SQL )

CREATE KEYSPACE mykeyspace WITH REPLICATION = { 
		'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 
		'replication_factor' : 3
};
	
use mykeyspace;

DESCRIBE mykeyspace;

CREATE TABLE users ( 
	user_id int, 
	fname text, 
	lname text, 
	PRIMARY KEY((user_id))
); 

Create Table & Insert Data

CREATE TABLE users ( 
	user_id int, 
	fname text, 
	lname text, 
	PRIMARY KEY((user_id))
); 

insert into users(user_id, fname, lname) values (1, 'rick', 'sanchez'); 
insert into users(user_id, fname, lname) values (4, 'rust', 'cohle'); 

select * from users;

All inserts in Scylla DB (and Cassandra) are actually upserts (insert/update). There can be only one set of values for each unique primary key. If we insert again with the same primary key, the values will be updated.
